> power window dilema Mervyn, no need to explain further. I know exactly what your talking about. Been there and DONE that ! Take the cover off the winding mechanism and make sure the cable is not kinked and is in the grooves in the winding wheel. Once this condition is met then you will have to stretch the cable back to position and reconnect the guide and install a new rivet. Find and use a metal rivet. DO NOT TRY TO REUSE OR USE A SIMILAR PLASTIC MICKEY MOUSE RIVET THAT THE FRIGIN' VOLKS FACTORY PUT IN THERE ! It will be hard to stretch the cable back to its original position because as you found out the tension springs on the ends of the cable. They're pretty stiff alright.
