Cable broke to the driver side window. What all will need to be replaced? The motor still works fine.

There's usually a broken plastic pulley or two also. The insane engineers don't understand that these cheap cable systems break easily. If you do an internet search, you'll find there are a number of places that have sprung up that rebuild these regulators. From everything I've seen, you have to replace the entire assembly. Order the new one first so you have it to look at to determine which rivets to drill out if necessary.
