Answer
Hi Jim,

The mechanism that moves your window up and down is called a cable style window regulator.

Your broken regulator is not repairable.  It must be replaced.  You have two options:

1.  You can purchase a regulator only from GM and install your existing motor on the regulator.

2.  You can purchase an "aftermarket" regulator and motor assembly from your local parts store.  

I think the aftermarket regulator and motor assembly made by "Dorman" is a good product and will probably come with a lifetime warranty.  Your local parts store will have all the details.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
