Removing rear window regulator assy. Help!

[Bernie Benz]

If the cable had been broken or frayed I would have gone that direction, but didn’t have to for this case.

The tab crimped to the cable had broken out of the lifter pivot, a crimped over die casting which can not be removed from its guide rail. Crappy design! I was able to get the tab back into its place in the lifter and “wired” it in place with a piece of bare #14 cu wire, anchoring each end around either end of the stop adjusting screw, such that it didn’t interfere with the pivot pin. Lubed, works fine now. Will it last another 250K? Maybe, if I don’t hold static motor torque on the closed window.
