Thought I’d chime in. I understand. I had the same, a damaged track, and yeah, it’s part of the whole rear side interior panel, and replacing the whole thing is far too expensive. If you are good with tools and have a place to work, hopefully the above link will help. Good luck!

@Elhajj33, nice job! I like how you repaired the cable, very clean. BTW, where did you buy the crimper and barrel crimps? They look like they would be handy for a number of jobs.

@Elhajj33 - Excellent!! Thanks very much for posting this. I have the same problem with Driver side flap and was planning to have an automotive body shop repair it. After reading this; I ordered the crimping tool, sleeves and leader wire from Amazon. Should be a much cheaper solution.
