Whilst driving down the M5 on Sunday my drivers door glass fell into the door.
Normally I would investigate before taking the car to the garage but it was raining non stop and I just needed it fixing. So I put a bin liner over the window for the night and took it to a garage at 8AM on Monday morning...
£311.00 Inc VAT later and they replaced the whole mechanism.
What a p1ss take. Not sure who is having a laugh - the garage or Renault. They say the part cost over £200, but i'm not sure. Either way I feel robbed
Ouch - £300+ for Window Regulator

Unlucky. £300 is the going rate for the window regulator so you aint been robbed. Dont know how old ur car is but i got my regulator done for free from my dealer. Also if u do a search there is a thread on getting the money back from renault.
