That's crazy...I even checked ebay...it's funny that they are more expensive there than Sewell Lexus lol.

I can see the dealer charging like $600 for 1 actuator (based on the actuator part alone)...

How did you break that cable?

If anyone needs the door motors, I have several of the FC280PC-22125 for $10 shipped.

I am in the Dallas, TX area if you need some assistance.
