Default Aftermarket window regulator?

Anyone know of a local parts shop that might carry a driver window regulator. Mine broke and I need to replace it before the weekend. So I don't have time to order one online and I hate to pay the dealer for it.
I have checked
Orielly
Advance Auto
Auto Zone
Pep Boys
Napa.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Try a glass shop that replaces auto glass.
They should carry aftermarket window regulators.
You may have to temporarily tie the glass in the up position until you can order a regulator.

I just bought one from Gene Culley and the price was more than fair.

Thanks for the replies. I found the best price on GMpartsdirect.com, but I need it today....so I was trying to find it local.

Be careful with gmpartsdirect as you may see a great price but its the shipping and handling charges they add, usually add up to way more than any other supplier. Do your homework.

Thanks, but I have ordered many things from GMpartsdirect and they have been reasonable on it all. I am no stranger to elevated shipping costs. I always look at the bottom line before I hit the send button.
