*sigh*

It's going to be awesome to pay $500+ for a part.. just so I can pull a fuse to ignore it.
If banging on the SLU doesn't work, someone reported that they were able to remove the SLU (DIYs on this site; if you can get the IPDM out to remove the fuse, you can remove the SLU) and manually poke the pin to the retracted position.

See comment above to reset windows. IIRC, you have to do it to both windows.

My dealer quoted me $810 for a SLU this morning while I was getting new hatch springs.

Hmm, I will have to give that a try tomorrow.

Judging by some of the other prices posted on this site, $810 is probably the undiscounted MSRP. Might be a bit cheaper if paying for installation. Still outrageous for something that should be recalled.

I'm not buying one, just checking the price out of curiosity when getting a quote on the ambient temp sensor. $72 for the sensor, but mine just has a broken mounting prong, so I'm going to see how nice of a job I can do with tie-wraps. If it's too ugly, I'll see if I can find one online for cheaper.

Links I checked earlier today have the part at around $550.

I can't believe that I've seen dealers wanting $1400-$1600 to fix it.
