2002 Buick Lesabre

- power window cable system detached, possibly snagged between drum & metal (deduced from PopularMechanics.com lead)
- motor still works, cable winding / unwinding almost all the way, but no effect on window, which I can pull up and down
(all trim door trim off, observed movement with mirror while partner pushed button)
- the cable-pulley system seems quite complicated and inaccessible... can it be re-connected or just replaced by professional?

Thank you for any leads

The window regulator assembly will need to be replaced.
