Joined the FSR replacement club
The DIY did not went as smoothly as I had hope because the glove box had to come out. The longer vanes of the original FSR (see picture) prevented it from being removed with the glove box in place. One thing that I've noticed during the glove box removal process is that you need to first remove the interior glove box light before you can yank out the glove box. The DIY article seems to assume that both the glove box and light come out as a unit, which wasn't the case for me. Hopefully, with the shorter vanes of the replacement unit, the next FSR replacement will be much simpler! I'm crossing my fingers that the replacement unit is a better design unit that will last longer than the original 4 years. Last edited by dkl; 07-06-2008 at 08:33 PM.

Welcome to the club! That was a pretty easy DIY and you saved lots of money! Key with this repair is to take your time, don't rush and be careful. That's the same replacement unit I put in my car and it's still working fine after 1 1/2 years!

You got lucky that your dealer only charged you $100 part and labor. My dealer quoted me over $400 bucks for the job. I got the part for about $80 bucks and about an hour of my time since I took it nice and slow.
