I am working with the exact same problem(but with the drivers side) and
found that the white plastic piece that attaches the cable to the part
that lifts the glass was broken. I don't think that it is really
feasable to repair mine considering that the corner pieces that are
plastic where the cable makes a 90 deg. turn are also very worn. I am
debating looking for a used part which may also have some degree of
plastic weakness or going with the van cafe replacement that is just
over $187.00 plus shipping. Anyone have good used power window
regulators for sale? I've got mine propped up with a notched broomstick
as the wooden wedges force the inside sheet metal out and I don't want
to bend anything or damage the paint.

All of a sudden my power window on the passenger side won't stay up.  I
took off the door panel and saw that the window mechanism is not
connected to the wire cable that goes up and down.  And I can't figure
out how to reattach it.  The motor is working fine.  Any suggestions on
how to fix?
