I have tried couple of shops but those aftermarket covers don't have antenna hood, meaning I have to unscrew the antenna every time for covering! Let's see If I could find a suitable aftermarket cover. Quote:

Thanks. Crossing 10K KM is like turning 18 years old ![Big Grin](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png) . Now Venus is much mature and ready to face serious challenges ahead! Quote:

I received a call from RR Honda @ 9AM that part has arrived and I may come anytime to get it replaced. I went there this afternoon for the replacement job. It took hardly 20 minutes and my car was handed over to me. Now I must say ![Stupid](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Sign stupid.gif) because I didn't bothered to ask if only single switch was replaced or complete assy is replaced (most probably I guess it is latter case because in the Invoice receipt the product is mentioned as 'Switch Assy'. Now this costs 3600 + 12.5% VAT if my car was out of warranty.
Now the funny thing, the Service adviser told me that the switch set has gone kaput because of the sun film I have installed. When I asked her to elaborate she said that 'there is friction while window up-down operation due to film installation and because of this the switch died, I was almost like this ![Frustration](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Frustration.gif) . Without arguing any further I asked for my gate pass and came back home.
How could the sun film damage the power window switch set? There is absolutely no relation between the sun film and window/switch IMO.
What's this white material?
