Default ARB Switches - Anyone else having the front face of these falling off?

Well like the subject says, when I added my lockers and the ARB compressor the switches were part of the package...

I've had two separate faceplates break off

One was toast and the latest still functions but won't stay on.

Anybody know if those OARRTW??? Switches happen to fit the same hole size/pattern?

No problems here. I've had them on for a couple years. Two locker switches and compressor switch.

Thanks.

where are yours mounted? My set is to the left of the steering wheel on a factory piece that is user replaceable, just in case.

Yup, I've had the switches break as well. I ordered a new set from ARB and all is well

I've replaced the face from the first one that broke along with a spare...thinking now it might be better to maybe replace all three switches with the ones from the other guys...

Mine are down behind the shifter (below the hvac controls) mounted to the factory trim piece.

Do you mean in front of the shifter?
