Hi I suggest you take the switch apart,quite easy,and clean the terminals with a fine emery paper and WD40.What you describe is a common problem.

Also you should get inside the door and lube the sliders, rubbers and cable etc, replacing those is a PITA much easier to try and maintain them so they don't snap.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

WD40 is only a very temporary measure. It will eventually gum up and stuff the connectivity. Electrical contact cleaner available from your local electronic store works better.
