2 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 03/23/2004

I have a 2002 Buick Century. Last year I had problems with the windshield getting stuck in a vertical position. It was under warranty and was fixed by the dealer, who handed me a receipt indicating replacement of cost approx. $400. 00. Well it happened again and this time not covered under warranty. I took it to a responsible auto repair shop and was told that whoever fixed it last year did it the cheapest way possible, that's why is broke again. How was I handed a bill from Buick dealer saying it cost $400. 00 to replace parts? now I have to pay $150. 00 this time. What was Buick dealer trying to do gouge me, impress me. I don't think I'll buy another Buick.
