Default Someone just tried to break into my truck & now my slidin rear windows is screwed up

I'm laying down with my wife upstairs watching a movie when I hear all my dogs start barking towards the street. So after them going crazy for about 30 seconds I get up to see what's going on and I see someone in the back of my truck. So I open the window and yell out as I grab my shotgun and run for the door. Only to be able to tell them ill shoot em if they ever come back as theyre racing off in some POS Honda civic.

I look around the car to see what happened and it looks like they tried to pry my back window open and ****ed up the cable or the motor. I honestly never use the thing but I managed to close the window since its raining and towel off the water that had gotten in.

So I guess I'll be spending my Saturday trying to fix the damn thing. I took a picture and recorded the sound the motor is making (it sounds horrible). Maybe someone here knows how to fix it?

Picture of bent up cable (it kinda moves when motor is pressed)



Video of the sound the window is making (not really sure if it is normal sound or not but it sounds bad)

Hell I wish I caught em so I could whoop their *** - or let my mastiffs take a chunk out of their ***. But there's a bunch of banger *** little Mexicans around so I wasn't going to take a chance of running out their without a gun and getting shot...

thats ****ty dude. if you dont use it a lot, if possible maybe for the price of a new motor you could get a solid back window instead. it would be more secure too.

good luck

Does anyone know if this is something I can fix? I tried to search repair for it but only found people hitting it with a hammer ...

Haha the water wasn't stolen. It was all you could see from the window, and a hoodie
