I have successfully used switches from a Jetta.  I don't know the exact
year.  Be prepared to solder the Vanagon wires directly to the terminals of
the switch.  The Jetta plug sticks out too far and you find out too late
that the window hits it.   BTDT
  If you're getting switches from a junkyard, take an ohmmeter and test
before buying.
