When I bought my car new from the dealer, the driver's side channel was kinked, and was causing wind noise. I finally got it repaired at the dealer, but they gave me $hit about it, blaming my tint. I've had both sides repaired before, but now my warranty is up, and I have to replace my drivers side again.

Do you order these channels from the dealer, and how much do they normally cost? Thanks for the write up!

WHAT IS THE PART # FOR THAT? I NEED TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE ONE AGAIN. I HAD IT REPLACED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE THO

just a note, since now im having to do mine again on the drivers side. When you install the glass again, according to the EP shop manual, it says you align the glass when re installing it. They say to keep the 2 bolts that hold the window in place on, but loose, and push the glass towards the rear of the door (towards the back of the car) and then tighten the bolts. Then check to make sure the window slides up smoothly. I didn't align mine properly after the install, and when I went to install my weather tech visors, they pinched the seal again.
