hey guys,

the problem is with my driver's side power window, it goes down, but it doesn't go up, i opened it up and looked at it and noticed that a piece broke off. On Monday, i'm planning to bring it in a mechanic and have them fix it, but i was wondering if this is something i could do myself and how expensive it would be, would i have to order the piece myself? etc, any suggestions from you guys? thanks a lot, wish me luck

hey dudes, i figure it was the regulator, the shop is charing me $255 just to replace it, about $180 for the new regulator and about $75 for labor, do you guys think it's a rip off? i've searched around for 94 corolla regulators and found some that were under $50, i think im getting ripped off, but its ok, only this time. Oh yeah, my car is at the shop right now and they're doing it

Thats a fair price. Shops need to make money too you know.

yes, but im sure they can find 12 year old regulators for less than $50, i dont mind the $75 charge already, take it that they charge $75 per hour and it takes less than 15 mins to replace a 1994 corolla regulator (driver side) its all good, will teach me to repair my own car
