""In 2024 the driver's side rear window switch failed, fortunately the window was in the closed position as it was winter and snowing. The window would not operate from either the switch on the driver's door nor the switch on the rear door. My mechanic could not locate a switch to replace it for less than $150 not including labor. I found one on line, brand new for $45 and a friend replaced it for no charge for labor. It took them about 20 to repair from start to finish.""
