$100 for one or several dents in your car in one session at my (believe it or not) Acura dealer! And it was a perfect job.

I just had one removed from my hood from a plastic beach chair that fell out out of the rafters in the garage onto my hood. Took it to a Nissan dealership and cost $140 to get fixed.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.

That's good that you don't have to wait much more,my Nissan guy hooked me up I will have my "D" lock tomorrow.

we certainly can learn from her experience

I'm still amazed that it takes up to 30+ days with these cars sitting at dealers waiting on parts when I called my Nissan guy and I got my "D" lock in 2 DAYS,and my car isn't broken I think some of these dealers aren't following proper procedure which may me causing unnecessary delay in getting your cars back.

1, read Kenchan's DIY.

2, look under you dash to find out what revision you have.

3, depends on #2. If you're out of warranty and you have revision C or lower, then sure, go ahead and swap it out for the Rev D, see #1 for the procedure.
