    If your dealer is trying to get $400 bucks for a window regulator... try a different dealer. But the benefit of going through them is the 2year unlimited mileage warranty. Might be worth replacing the motor as well, if you haven't done that already.

    I replaced my regulator with one from Rock auto, that lasted a year. I now have an OEM one. I paid about $170 I think.

    I usually have to replace the motor as the cable grinds down the motor housing and chews up the gear on it.
