So my wife ripped the antenna off our Acura TSX yesturday, and i've called Acura to get the items fixed. There is no damage to the car, radio and everything still works fine, but the cosmetting covering is mangled, leaving the parts to the antenna exposed.

So I thought, big deal I'll buy the part and have it fixed. I call Acura, and they say the part is $117. No problem. However, they go on to say it will be $588 dollars labour as they ahve to remove the roof liner!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I being hosed here? Are there any other viable alternatives? I called a second dealer in Calgary (Acura) and they said it would only be $390 labour. Even than, that's a little high, but easier to swallow. Something scares me that too dealerships in the same city are so far apart.
