That is about right for a dealer repair. A Honda dealer may be a bit cheaper - same regulator as in the '97 Accord. The dealer part is about $150. On Ebay about $75. I have replaced both in my son's '97 2.2.

I just had the driver's side window regulator replaced at the dealer which was coverage under warranty - 15k service. I had reported that the driver's window sometimes made a squeaking sound while driving on uneven road surfaces. The dealer told me that the window wasn't closing 100% of the way. After the dealer replaced the window regulator, the window squeak is no more.

well i called around...Jay Wolfe Acura wanted $360 + tax...the other majoy Acura dealer "Superior Acura" wanted $260 + tax....(and they could do it today) So i took it to Superior Acura..
15 min after i dropped it off, they said they had gotten the door panel off and said they saw the regulator and it WAS the Regulator that broke...the said like $130 for the new Regulator and $180 for labor...+tax sooo TOTAL = $345 +/- a few bucks...
Did i get ripped off..?....yes probably, but it was the cheapest place i found AND they could do it today...
EDIT: CLPower.....They did say the Cable broke....
Does anyone have a picture of a window regulator...i dont even know what they do or what they look like or anythin!..lol
***THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR THE FAST RESPONCES AND HELP AND INFO!!****

they're trying to rip you man... it's probably just your window regulator fluid resevoir that's empty.... just go to the store and ask for some window regulator fluid and fill it up....

yeah they're pretty common on first gen cl's. We charge 2.0 hours of labor if i remember correctly. $300 ain't a bad price but unfortuanatly it's something u have to replace. Good luck
