Subject:Power window regulator broke: floating black part, maybe cable guide.

Did little reading in archives, here is a pic of what appears to be the
problem.

There is a black fitting, appears to be some type of cable channel loose on
the cable, just dangling around.

While viewing the pictures in the link below, it appears to be some type of
cable guide which should be on the bottom of the regulator.  (4th post in
the thread).

I am guessing I have to remove the regulator, remount this black cable
guide, and then install it all again.  Sounds like challenging job :)

Found some instructions on BTDT, and few other archive posts.

Did I read this correctly?  The black thing is the cable guide from the
bottom, gotta remove it all, fix, and reinstall.  Any other guidance?

Thanks!
