So the cable thats attached to the motor on my passenger side window snapped causing the window to fall into the door but it didnt break thankfully. So i read on a few threads and i heard you cant just replace or re-attach the cable you have to buy either a whole new motor or just the regulator. I have also heard that you need both. So my question is what part do i need?

and also there is not much room at all to look around inside that power window assembly once the door panel is off. is there an easier way to replace the assembly? or am i gonna have to slide it in, and wiggle it around until i find the right spot ( )

yeah, thats happened to both my windows. i haven't replaced them yet, but as far as i know, you do need the whole window regulator. and from what i was told there are a few bolts that you undo and the whole assembly should slide right out. i hope this helps a little.

good luck

Thats perfect man thank you so much. I thought it would be impossible to get that thing out but those diagrams are perfect. If anyone has a spare passenger side power window assembly please e-mail me.
