Dealership Is Killing Me....
Ok, so I have read some of the post that dealt with this problem before and I'm seriously sick and tired of my Nissan Dealership BUT heres my issue...stupid window motor regulator problem. I know I'm not the only one, but I had my passenger side replaced....fine, it was under warrenty...now my driver side window is jacked up and of course...not under warrenty...Dealership said its gonna cost $598!!!!!! to fix my damn window....they said the part alone is like $300!?!? Should i bend over and just take one?!!?!? hahah...i feel like im gettin ripped....any advice or feeback please!!!!!!
Thanks...

If you're out of warranty, personally, if I were you, I'd do it myself and locate the part from somewhere else. (maybe even from a graveyard)

what's wrong with it? mine rolls back down 4 inches if i use the auto-up function, so instead i just use the intermintan position on the window up button to raise the window until it stops. Also, did you try re-setting the windiw motor?

50 BMG, Man that's serious! Should be BM"F"G. That's got to be fun to shoot. I've heard of gun clubs in Colorado that shoot those things at ranges where you shoot from one Mtn top to another one over a mile away.

Your best bet is to do as the previous response suggested. Find a used one that still works. Check local junkyards and such. It has to be a 350Z though. I originally hoped that our cars shared the same window motor as an Altima, Maxima, or even a G35, but unfortunately they are unique to the Z. If you cant find a junked one, then check around this website for someone parting their Z out for racing.
This is what I did. Paid only 100 bucks for the motor and then had an independent auto shop around town do the install for 50 bucks. Much better than the 600 from the dealer.

Had the drivers side replaced under warranty. Passenger side was coming down on auto-up and I had to pay $45 for "reprogramming" even though I am still under warranty, as "adjustments" are only covered for 12/12,000. Seems like the window motors are a weak link; makes me glad I got the extended warranty.
