Not a problem to install at all. Simple quarter turn and it's out. I took one out and showed the service mgr how simple it was. If they charge Nissan anything to change them out they are robbing them.

half hour minimum i'm sure, but like you said, it's retarded easy

Taking the invoice posted at the start of this thread didn't get me anywhere with the dealer.

Check out my quick DIY for fixing this once and for all for less than $3.

The penny thing accomplishes this for $0.06 vs. $3.00. Just sayin'.
