Oh my... thank so much for your thorough explanation! Now I wish I was as handy as you... so I could do it myself. Definitely know I didn't get screwed by my mechanic, but the dealer is another story. Unless you come to Texas, it looks like I will just won't use the window anymore... until I feel like throwing more money at the problem. (Not totally inept as my dad used to call me for his plumbing needs). Thanks again for your help! You're the best!
