The cable probably came off the track due to the plastic rivet breaking that holds one of the corner guides. When you get a used or new lifting mechanism, change the plastic rivets for steel ones before installing. I think the VW engineers put the plastic rivets there to act as a safety device for the motor if the window became jammed. Just be careful to not force the motor if the window get jammed for any reason, i.e. frozen shut if your in the great white North !
