On all 6 switches? I think Martha Stewart would say "thats not pretty" lol
Ha! “It’s a good thing until you discover a better thing”

You could over engineer it and apply a magnet to all six and then a dowel with a magnetic notch to manage the flipping up. Then you only need two that connect and disconnect from each switch.

Any other ideas will require a third cup of coffee.

Google "guitar finger picks", they look like a little ring with a pick on it and you may find a solution where you could attach one of those picks to the switch and make it work. They're adjustable for size. Or even keep one in your car and attach it to your finger when you need to use that switch.

How about removing the window switch panel and cutting out the back of the pockets that the switches are in. That may provide enough depth for you to fully insert your nailed fingertip.

I don’t know what’s behind it, or how much room there is, but it’s worth a look.

I hesitate to even post bc of all the rude reactions this might get but here it goes....
I am a girl.
I love jeeps.
I want to put my windows up.
But i have nails and thus the little fingertip window buttons dont allow me to fit my nail with fingertip into them enough to get leverage to push the window button down. Only my nail "goes in" if that makes sense. Daughter and her friends have the same issue.
Yes i can cut them shorter and thankfully in the summer I do but in winter my nails are always longer bc I'm not doing hands on crap as much and am instead looking picture perfect at holiday functions.
I would LOVE if someone could 3d print slide/stickon button extenders.
Im tired of looking for the clothespin to close a window.
First world problem i know.
No "cut your nails", "long nails suck" ect responses needed.
These are my real nails so no "princess type" responses either.
Sad I even have to buffer my questions these days.
Anyhoo.
If you like back scratches, then you like nails so help a chick out and tell me this product exists or throw some ideas at me. Im about to e6000 some tounge depressers on the suckers bc the 392 buttons are hella stiff compared to her 2020 rubi and that would be just ugly. I could bedazzled them.... JK!
And No i cannot just use my nails to pull up on these dang window buttons. Even at the most painful leverage force amount the button doesnt move.

I don't know if it will work, but maybe something like a small black drawer pull that you can screw or bolt into the plastic? Not sure if there is much room behind these switches, but might not look bad if you find the right knob.

My mom has the same problem when swiping her credit card at gas pumps not because of her nails but because of her RA.... I ended up putting a tab of tape on each card for her to grab to pull out and it solved her problem. Maybe something like that will help. Good Luck
