So I had to take my '03 GLX in for the heat shield recall (I know I know..I was lazy), and since I was there I told them that my rear passenger's side window would go up but not down. I am a longtime reader of this forum so I know about the little problem with the plastic tabs. Yeah the ones that hold the window to the regulator tend to fall out, so its a quick job of replacing the little white dowel. So I figure it would be a cheap fix. Nope, they quoted me $514.76 to replace the regulator! Give me break! are these guys nuts!!

IIRC our local rates are close to $100 per hr, Daddy. Local indy is only $68.
And Mr. hot pepper, the dealer Cannot just replace the broken pin/bracket If your regulator actually went a little while later (like 2 have on my A4) they'd be expected to pick up the tab.

I work at an indy and our rate is $105, we aren't the cheapest but we are not the most expensive either. I have to stick up for the dealer on this one a little bit, if they replaced the just the clip that is MAYBE the cause of the problem and then something else happened shortly thereafter you would expect them to fix it for free and when they didn't you would more than likely bad mouth them. Their repair insures no more issues for a long time to come....
Just fixed this using the method outlined here: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87363. As I originally thought the little dowel had fallen out, so all I had to do was put that back in.
Thanks to the folks here for saving me loads of money!!
