Re: Help winding window regulator cable

But when the wheel turns one way, one cable can't follow the direction of the groove, gets flipped around and makes a mess. And there is also a ton of slack in the cable.

I drew up a diagram just in case



On the left is the cable in the groove. On the right is what happens to one of the cables when you start turning the motor.

Is it possible i have to wind up some cable on the wheel and then insert the lug on the cable into the slot? I can't think of any other way it could possibly work.

I searched too but i didnt get any hits on how to wind the cable. Everyone just replaced the entire regulator assembly. Which id rather not do as everything is in good shape.

Thanks for reading!
have you had a look at the passenger side one ?
