These keep breaking, when installed. I know how they auto adjust, but they are breaking not failing..>What's the trick?

Man something's not right, I've never had a broken door jamb switch in over 50 years of driving, and never on either of my two TJs.
OP
I think i may try to adjust the switch prior to install,,seems like there is too much sticking out prior to being self adjusted
Do you have any pictures of the door jam switch after install, before being broken?

finally I got it to work, preadjusted the length before it went "in the hole"
Please, please! let me know how you can pre-adjust the length. What does auto adjust mean. Do you install the switch and slam the door to get it to the proper length? HELP!
The outer sleeve can be moved up along the “barbed” shaft toward the plunger before you push the outer sleeve into the door jam to reduce the angle the door contacts it when using the door to set the final length.
Just went and measured mine so you'll have something to aim for when you adjust yours for fitment. both sides read out to about 9/16 in the extended position from the face of the collar to the tip of the plunger (door open position for the plunger) Ive never touched mine & assume they have never been touched.

How do these auto adjust?
Oh, thank you very much. Your pics are fantastic. I got mine at Car Quest in town here for 11.49. I was so bewildered because chat gpc said the switch was not adjustable. Thank you, thank you thank you.

I wouldn't trust AI with car repair advice in the future.
