Interior Light Switch Length - Rear Load Area

Hi all

Taking the time to get the simple things working.

Now on my list is the rear load area interior lighting and using the original door switches.

Can anyone tell me if at one point, there were different sized switches?

Mine doesn't come close to being touched with the door closed.

Ahhh! I have learnt I am missing a bracket which pushes it.

Anyone happen to know a part number

I think you're missing the 'striker' thing that's supposed to be there to operate the switch

That's awesome help! Thanks!

Looks like I need this style (courtesy of venomator) to strike higher than the bolt set:

That's certainly narrowed the hunt though!
