Default Just my luck.

It started a couple months after i purchased my car when my harmonic balancer went out. I knew i was taking a gamble since i purchases an 05 model. Then several months later my window regulator went out. Shortly after that my hood struts needed to be replaced. And now my other window regulator is crapping out on me. Instead of me purchasing another new one for 400 should i send mine off to windowregulatorsusa.com for $140 and free shipping. Has anyone else used this place before?

Dont know about window regulators but needing a balancer had nothing at all to do with it being an 05. Seems like every year C6 ends up needing that sooner or later.
Try ebay for a new window regulator.

I found one on their for 250. But is it worth just sending mine in for a rebuild for 100 dollars less?

Looks like it might be the same company. But on their site it shows free shipping and on ebay its $12.

Man, if it isn't balancers, it's window regulators. Mine went bad on a '93 just after the warranty expired. I think it was about $500 or so back then.

If someone's going to rebuild it might be good. I'd say do a google on them and see if there are any reviews from other car forums. Even $140 isn't something you want to throw away.
