maybe i wasn't clear. this particular car has manual window cranks and the cable i was referring to routes around several "spools" or guides inside the door to facilitate the actual movement of the window within its two vertical tracks.

A set of dental pics (that's what I call them ) will come in very handy.

hey-the tubes have to do w/the heatercore replacement i did after the window regulator replacement, and mark is the site owner, i believe. twincam is a fellow site member that was courteous enough to supply me w/some of the window "rollers" i needed. :) :)

How long this cable is suppose to be??
When I buy this Spider driver window did not work. It's a 1979 Spider.
