HTC Cable Cost
I had a cable break for the HTC a couple weeks ago. Took it to the dealer and the total bill was over $980. The cable itself was $727.87. Does this sound correct? Has anyone else had to have a cable replaced? Is this an accurate cost?

We had our 21 HTC with 13k miles have a similar failure. I believe you can find the part at the GM Parts supplier on line.
Luckily, we had a GM Platinum warranty that covered it, even though I thought that roof repairs weren't covered under the policy.

The cable/bracket assembly can be purchased online for a couple of hundred dollars but the cable can't be purchased separately. I've seen posts of the part numbers but don't know what they are. I've seen posts where people just removed the cable from the bracket so they didn't have to replace the bracket. One side is more expensive than the other but you can just buy the cheapest side and use the cable. I don't know why the cable assembly the dealer used is so expensive. Do a search for the part number on the invoice and see what the online cost is.

You can take the cable housing to a place that fabricates bicycle or vintage motorcycle cables and they could probably fabricate a new inner cable.
