Default Stealership - regulator

**URGENT ** - Window Regulator Help!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok as documented, 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? HELP!!

My window regulator was replaced under warranty, and the part cost $335.00 at the dealer. They are trying to rip you off.
