Default Window Switch Ball Bearings

My driver side window was not rolling up so i decided to take apart the window switch and clean the connections. However, in the process I lost the ball bearings inside the middle of the car while getting the switch off. Does anyone know where i can buy more ball bearings? Are they generic ball bearings? Any help would be appreciated.

You'll probably have to go get another switch assembly.

You come the right placeJust ask which type of ball bearings you need?They are not generic ball bearings.If you need single row ball bearing,check it.And more deep groove bearing.

I haven't seen inside a Volvo window switch, but if they're like other brands' switches, you might go to a sporting goods store (or Wal-Mart's sporting goods section) and buy a small pack of BBs for a BB gun. The initials BB stand for "ball bearing" in the first place. The ball bearings in your switch are used for the fulcrum point, right? If so BBs might be close enough to the right size to work, and you get several hundred spares for cheap.

Just a thought. Hope it helps.
