       Tom, I've come across this problem a few times now.  There's no way 
I've found to get a cable.  You need a complete lift mechanism to get the 
cable.  The cable probably came off the track due to the plastic rivet 
breaking that holds one of the corner guides.  When you get a used or new 
lifting mechanism, change the plastic rivets for steel ones before 
installing.  I think the VW engineers put the plastic rivets there to act as 
a safety device for the motor if the window became jammed.  Just be careful 
to not force the motor if the window get jammed for any reason, i.e. frozen 
shut if your in the great white North !
