Hand/thumb Warmer Switch Housing

Went out the other day to wash the old girl and found the OEM switch housing broken off. 2013 Max XT. They are secured to the bars with one bolt that also appears to be where a mirror would be mounted. Appears that the plastic is kind of rotten where the bolt goes through it and it simply just fell off. Anyone else have this issue? Any good fixes out there? Does warranty cover it?

Winch Remote Freespool Release

I am wanting to somehow use a cable or linkage to engage/disengage my winch from spool to freespool and back. I’m tired of having to stick my arm up to the bicep to get it into freespool and then back again. Has anyone done this or have any ideas?

I just ordered an inexpensive 36" Morse push/pull cable to play with and see if I can come up with anything. Ideas or previous success or failure input is highly welcomed.
