window reg

[ls01]

i went to the shop intown they want $85 just to put it in i already have the part but 85 just for labor is that high?

That's probably their minimum charge. It is a little bit involved. They have to drill out some rivets and then put new ones in.

If you are talking about a window regulator just do it yourself. It is super easy. I've replaced three in my car so far and only it only me less than thirty minutes every time I did it. A second pair hands wouldn't hurt either. There's no rivets to be drilled out and it's not complictated.

The window regulator is the motor and series of cables inside your door that moves the window up and down.

OOOOOOOOOH ok.Thanks.

To the OP. Do it yourself, its not that hard and you'll save money, just dont break anything.

yup easy job. I've done 2 so far. The hardest part is getting the little round plastic piece out that holds it to the window.
