Default **URGENT ** - Window Regulator Help!

Ok as document, my car has returned to the garage from hell for its service.

During this service they are to repair the window seals on both the driver and passenger sides.

Both my windows have an intermittent dragging when closing fault, but it comes and goes and is not an urgent fix IMO.

I recieved a call today to advise me that they cant repair the window seals as the regulators need to be replaced as will snap?

Now the rubber seals are free and the serivce is free due to previous injurys to my car. However the window regulators I am being advised cost 2000+ Dirhams i.e. 300 GBP or 600 Dollars EACH.

Is this price accurate?
Will they really snap while replacing the rubber window seals and adjusting the windows?

They have been back on the phone.. will be keeping my car for an other two days... and would also like to replace my brake pads at

$400 Dollars for the front and back. The pads feel strong atm so i have told them not to bother and i will take them to an independant garage.

What do you guys pay for brakes pads at the moment and what do drilled disks etc cost?

Thanks for any help

this is what i get from www.gmpartshouse.com

(i put in an -03 because i don't know what year you have)

Description*************Year***MSRP Price****Your Price

Window regulator Right****03-04****$366.09*****$265.02


Window regulator Left****03-04****$361.44*****$261.65


so they look to be a bit over $500USD for the pair. but then again this website has the BEST prices that i would imagine no regular dealer would match.

but even still, the MSRP is way less than the $600 they're quoting you.
