Dude find a Pick N Pull junkyard. Its like 2 bucks to get in, wander around till you find your car, and yank the part. They'll charge you like 20 bucks.

I would just say f*ck it. If you know someone handy have them look at it. Then go to a junkyard and get a replacement.

Why take it to a dealer? You should know they are expensive. Try an independent shop and get an estimate from them for comparison.

- You can ask friends and relatives for shops that they use although I would not recommend chain store franchises, just one of a kind independent shops. There are exceptions to this general rule, of course.
