2002 Civic window relay broken!

External Since: Dec 21, 2004 Posts: 20

I heard a big snap in my drivers side widow while trying to roll up the
window and after pulling the drivers side panel, it looks like the cable
snapped inside the relay. Anybody else ever have this problem and would know
what's the dealer going to charge. Just seems kind of early for a 2002
Civic.

If it's like my daughter's '93 Accord, the part is about US$250 new and the
labor is minor - maybe an hour and a half. I bought a "regulator" (the
technical name for the part that raises and lowers the window) at a wrecking
yard for $75 with a 30 day warranty and installed it myself. Getting the
door panel off was half the work.
