You SOB's jinxed me and the window!

[John Cody Forbes]

Ok now this is getting freaky. You guys jinxed me too! I just had to replace 
the drivers regulator 2 weeks because of a FUBAR cable (incredibly frayed 
but not broken), now just this morning my passenger rear quit and makes the 
noise of a frayed cable. ARGHH!!

I just though of a repair method that I may try. When you get a badly frayed 
cable why not cut it a few cm from the slider and cut off a few cm from the 
other end where it attaches to the motor pulley then find some replacement 
cable (Lowes?) and solder in the right lenth of brand new cable? Seems to me 
that it would not take very long at all and the cable would cost just a few 
bucks for enough cable to do a whole car's worth of windows. What am I 
forgetting and/or why won't that work?
