Window assembly / regulator
Apparently, like other GM models, C5's don't have long lasting "regulators", as my passenger window will not go up! (Can hear the linkage clanging around) although motor is working. Any estimates on a fair price for regulator, and/or labor to replace?? Also, a local body shop guy I know said something about "re-programming" window?? Why in the hell would that be necessary if all I'm doing is replacing the guts (regulator) that holds the window??? Help!

Here is a how-to with some pictures. The part is not Vette specific, and GM uses the same low quality piece on some of their low end cars...
