Well that window that worked and didnt work on the 2002 Grand Prix GT was finally taken to the dealer... I almost fell over when the guy handed me the bill....

$230.00 dollars to fix a lousy window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess GM wants us to start buying Hondas!!!!!!!!!
Stay away from WEIRS Pontiac in Demotte, Indiana..

Yup, that's why most of us would rather buy the parts from Ed Morad or Ebay and fix it ourselves... hammer

So keeping the line that shows that most of the times things cost 3 times here in Mexico that makes like 1260 usd to fix it here at the stealership?

Ok, I wont ever open my windows again. kooky

no sympathy here... sorry, but we told you exactly what to do, who to get in contact with, and how to fix the problem, and you still took it to the dealer. what'd you expect, for them to do it free?

You should invest in a repair manual, and learn to preform the minor repairs your self. You will save a pile.

The part alone at the stealership is over $200 so I'd say you paid the right price.

When my window went out I bought a new regulator on Ebay for $150 now they go for half that.

And please if your gonna ask for help then ignore it please don't come back and complain how you got ripped off after we gave you ways to save yourself a chunck of change.
