Electric window cable
« on: 07 February 2009, 16:43 »
The cable in my passenger side electric window has snapped. Any ideas where I could source a new one from?

Thanks

Solder it back together.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I recon Jay thought you were refering to an electrical wire, if you mean the actual cable that moves the window up & down the only option is a complete new regulator or a 2nd hand one, you cant just buy the regulator on its own. I have seen peoiple replace the cable with a bike brake cable but its tricky.
