Sliding rear window panel cost

[Skinner]

My sliding rear window panel defrost is not working. I'm going to tackle the repair soon but thought I'd check the cost of replacing that piece just in case. I almost fell off my chair - approximately $750 CDN for the sliding panel alone! The entire window assembly, including that panel, was just over $1000. If it actually came down to it I'd remove the whole thing and replace with the one-piece window for around $600. Good grief. That slider is a pain in the butt. End of rant.

Cheers!

Are you sure it can’t be repaired?

They are not willing to do a good will repair where they cover haft? Have you talked with your service writer to go-to bat for you?

I haven't looked at it myself yet. I was just wondering about the cost if I had to go that route. I've repaired them before, but usually only when there is a broken line. This seems to be the whole panel.

Hate to ask but, how could you tell, where do you live?
I don't think I ever used it in 2 winters? I can't remember...

Just outside of Windsor, Ontario. All of the windows were fogged up early morning, which is when I noticed it.
