The cable has a small steel cylindrical stop swaged onto it which fits into
a plastic receptacle on the regulator. Probably the plastic part is missing
in your case, but in the unlikely event the cable end is missing here's a
good fix. I recently re-cabled one of my windows and found some 1/16" model
airplane wheel collars lying around which are a perfect replacement. They
slide onto the 1/16" cable and snug down with a set screw (use loctite).

I'll put up a not-so-great picture with the original cable end on the
right, and the wheel collar version on the left.
