Update

I was able to get the new switch to click into place by trimming a very small amount from the switch housing with a razor blade. It now works like a champ. I may be wrong but my theory is that they took a casting from an oem switch when they manufactured the switch which made the housing just a tiny bit bigger.

Outstanding... Like the search feature, I was looking for a turn signal cancel thread and this one even had a video!
Perfect, my 08 Panel 2LT fails to cancel 90% of the time and I'll try this before purchasing a new Switch.
