Power window switches V70-XC70 1998

My driver's door bank of power window switches is bad (the two side-by-side front window switches are broken, and when I tried to close the window by pulling up, the switches started coming apart because of the force necessary. Where can I buy a replacement? I assume the dealer's price is astronomical.

Also, I see that there is a circuit breaker for the power windows, rather than a fuse. The owner's manual says "This is an automatic circuit breaker located in the fuse box and does not normally need to be replaced." Does this mean that when I replce the switchpack that I will need to reset this breaker, or will it reset itself automatically?

Thanks in advance.

    Try www.importspecialistsofamerica.com I believe they sell the switch for a 1998 V70, for about 25-30% less than the dealer.

    There is a "VOLVO S70 OR V70 MASTER WINDOW SWITCH P/N 8638452" on e-bay, current bid $82 with 3 hours to go.

    (I bent over and went for the dealer's price since it was raining....)
