It's been a while. I have a dangling visor mirror door and the visor light stays on. I searched and found there is a TSB for this (#13-5-30). I called the dealer and he informed me of a couple of things.
First - TSB's are only free if the original warranty is in effect. This is news to me - is this true? I always thought they were similar to recalls but less urgent.
Second, he tells me the part needed is $142.15 and about $75 in labor but since I have the extended warranty it would only cost my $100 deductible. I started to proceed down this path but my frugalness prevented it.
I printed the actual TSB which stated the part number needed and stated that there is .2 hours of labor required (that's 12 minutes). I searched the part online (CL3Z-1504098-AC) and found them for between $18 and $27. Is this really the cost for the mirror/visor door assembly - seems too cheap?
Has anybody done this fix themselves. Obviously it affects a lot of cars - I can't believe I am the only one posting this. Is the dealer this much of a ******bag?
