Nope.  If mine crash on me, I'll probably flail around a bit, trying
to make a new end or new cable myself.  Failing that, I've about
decided to take one Lister's advice and buy the new manual window lift
assembly just to get a new set of cables.  It's expensive, but a sight
cheaper than buying the new electric window lift assembly.

BTW, Ted J. gets all his motorcycle work done at the place on US17-92,
across from Fairbanks Mazda and a mile or less north of it.  Wonder if
you've tried them yet?
