Hi guys, I tried opening the rear off side window and i hear a bang and the window is now loose and won't go up or down. (i had to temporary wedge it closed) I took the door trim off and found by looking and feeling through the holes that the steel cable that drives the window has rusted and snapped.

I managed to get the winding pully out through the speaker hole (after drilling off the rivits that hold the speaker plastic frame) but can't for the life of me figure out how to replace the steel drive wire and fix the ends to the window.

It looks like the mechanism was fitted before they fitted the external skin of the door.

Can anyone tell me if this is fixable, or do i need to replace the whole door?

You dont replace the cable you need to drill more rivets out that hold the complete regulator in it does come out on its own although some are easier than others

This is what you are removing

I've done a 407 rear window reg.
Not hard. Bit of a faff, but not rocket science.
You don't need a rivet gun, there are kits that bolt in. You will need to drill the original one out though.

I just looked at the ebay link of the window regulator, that looks exactly the same as i can just about see though the holes on the inner door skin. question is, how do i get the old one out and put the new one in? the inner and outer door skins and fued together.

As i say you need to drill out its mounts then wiggle it all out it does come out honest

You'll need a kitchen paper to help staunch the blood, and a swear jar.
