Default Need help with window

So after spending all weekend trying to fix my power rear sliding window - i just went out and bought the entire assembly (motor + cables) from the dealership for $177. Has anyone else replaced theirs? Im looking for some help to get this installed and working correctly and cant seem to find anything online except people advising others to hit it with a hammer. It didnt seem too complicated when I took the thing apart - but my back window cables have never been on the window so I dont know what a properly working window ever looked like.

If no one has replaced their sliding rear window motor - can anyone snap a few pictures of theirs and how it works. Ive never used mine before - but now i want to get it fixed.

The dealership quoted me $750 for a new motor and installation (even though i have removed the old one and taken off the rear seat) which seemed like an outrageous quote for job that probably any ford mechanic could do in less than a hour.

Please help! Thanks! -SR

Can anyone Please pOst a picture of their powered rear slider where the plastic tabs on the cable attach to the window? There is no removal of anything needed - I just need to see how the cables connect - how much metal wire length is on the window - and where the plastic tabs are positioned on the back window. There is no removal of rear seat - I just need a few pictures if the rear sliding window attachments.

Please help so I can get my rear window fixed and get my rear interior back together.

Thanks!

Hopefully you can see. Hard to get a good shot with the middle seatbelt there.

So the plastic tab on the drivers side is pretty much at the end of the window - unlike the passenger side which is a few inches from the window yes?
