Window help needed

[angleiron]

My passenger side window stopped going up/down. Took the door panel off and saw that the window was off the track, as well as the cables that move the window up/down were not on the pulleys. I have been trying to the cables back in place but come up about 1/4" short of getting it done.

Is there a trick to doing this? For something that is so tight...I am not sure how it jumped off to begin with? the alternative is $600+ for a new assembly...and since the motor works fine that would be a waste to have to do that.

Not trying to challenge your mechanical intelligence, but have you looked in a manual?

This was an old thread I found in a search. Don't know if it will help you.

I take it you are out of warranty? There were a bunch of other threads that mentioned the motor and assembly. If you do have to replace it maybe check with Jon B and see if he has a used one for a bit cheaper. Somebody else may chime in with another idea.

Yes, I looked in the manual. It only has it as a complete assembly and does not cover the cable coming off of the roller/pulley/guides.

At the end of the cable where they go into the motor there is white part with a spring on it. Take a dremel tool and trim the end off both of the white parts. Do a little at a time tell you can barely get it to go back in the motor end. Do all this with the wire on the pulleys and the clip in place.
