wait, i don't get it. you opened your door and the glass fell into the door.

the regulator failed so somehow it just dropped?
I guess?

OT

While at the dealership yesterday they had a pre owned Chicane '08 I almost traded in on. Had they come down just another grand I'd have taken it but instead I left frustrated at the idiocy of the finance department and the games they tried to run. The worst of it all was the finance guy has known my roomate for years (they were stationed together and later on my roomate got the guys girlfriend stationed with him - big favor/deal)...

so hes acting like he was hooking me up and throwing BS figures around then looked like a deer in headlights everytime I'd call him out on the prices... I just don't get car salesmen. They are making money on my trade. They are making money on the car. They are making money on the fees. The are making money on every aspect of the deal - is it really that hard to cut a little off here and there to move it? Their loss.

my guess would have been that somehow the window fell off the hinge.

and i totally feel you on the car salesmen. when they start their speil i usually need to walk away while they talk to my wife. she's much more tolerant of them.

Oops meant to ask how much was the trade up to Chicane.

13k sounds like low ball (depending on miles)

It was. Which is fine - thats what dealers do. But its ok.. I have no problem walking away.

There is an IDENTICAL at another dealer 20 miles away with 200 less miles for $1 more.

This happened to me on my 02 RSX Type-S back in the day.

Dealer tried blaming it on my window tint, saying they took the glass out they must have messed it up. I shut him up real fast on that one. Then he tried saying that the added stress from the window film tint caused undue strain on the regulator which caused it to fail. After laughing in his face I said ok, get me a spray bottle with water, i'll spray the inside of the other window and lets see how well it cleans it. By your estimation, it should literally squeegee the water right off ok?

He shut his trap and wrote up my warranty repair after that.

Ordered the part on Ebay yesterday for $65 shipped.

I got it in the mail today and an hour later my car was fixed.

Thanks S2ki and DIY and F-U dealership!
