Default Easy fix for broken window carrier

I didn't feel like spending the $150+ for a whole new window regulator just cus the carrier broke. See the attached pics for an easy fix that has worked great for me. Good Luck and happy New Years!

Pic1
Cut a slot the size of a wire tie with a drill bit.

Pic2
Cut another slot on the side of the raised section of the carrier. Make sure to keep it rather low on the raised section so the cable is later pulled tight into the carrier.

Pic3
Notch the honey-comb section to allow the wire tie to sit flush in the carrier.

Pic4
This will be how you thread the wire tie through the carrier using the existing notch and the two new ones you've cut.

Pic5
This is how I threaded the other side.

Final product before you pull the wire tie tight.
