Can someone please help me? The driver's side front window broke so I had to replace the window. The cables came undone and now I can't thread the cables to the manual hand crank.
Please can anyone explain the process? Which way does the top cable turn and which way does the bottom cable turn?

Thank you for the help in advance.

Good morning,

I have never been able to rewind the cable and reset it with the manual windows.

I would replace the regulator to prevent any further problems.

I attached some pictures for you below.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
