My take on the slide switch mod from goingnorth.
I used a pair of snips and trimmed the excess plastic from around the switch face in order for the cover to fit over the entire switch. For a better fit, I put the switch face back over the switch after the switch cover was installed.
Once I dry fitted the cover over the switch the slide began moving. Crap! The inside of the cover is very narrow and is just hitting the switch.
Solution - The switch covers are for outdoor use and come with a piece of foam that can be placed between the cover and the wall. This piece of foam provided the perfect amount of clearance to keep the switch from engaging when the cover is closed.
All Finished. Thanks goingnorth! ** I tried this mod for the awning switch as well - but the switch shape and size will not allow for it. As you can see in my last picture it is located underneath the bottom of my upper cabinets, just above the sink. I don't let anyone touch the lights except me as the way it is laid out there is to big of a chance for the wrong button to be pressed.
