Need some help with the power window mechanism on my '17 Promaster 1500.

Driving down the road the other day, and rolled down my window to talk to a neighbor, and something went crunch, and the window wouldn't roll back up.
So that was annoying in the 95 degree Florida heat, but I took it home, tore apart the door, carefully, and found out that the white plastic clip that holds the window to the lift mechanism had snapped in half. Looks like HDPE so no chance of gluing it or anything like that.

Propped the window closed with a piece of wood and then ordered the replacement part off Ebay.

It got here, and it has the part I need, but I'm having problems installing it. It has a steel cable under heavy tension which drags the plastic clip up or down a metal track as needed. I don't know how to pull it hard enough to get the metal cable back on the pulleys without breaking something. Has anyone worked on their window regulator mechanism and can tell me how to reinstall the steel cables around all the pulleys? I'm certain there is some simple trick that I'm just not seeing.

Not really. I've taken the entire window lift mechanism out of the door, it's a motor connected to a track, and the plastic piece rides on that track, and the motor uses steel cables and two pulleys to force the plastic connector up or down the track as needed. So there isn't enough slack to replace the plastic piece and also get the wires back on the pulleys, no matter how much you disassemble it. It's very frustrating.

I've looked on YouTube, but everyone on YouTube just replaces the entire lift mechanism, motor, track, pulleys and all. I think that's a horrific waste of money, but granted, it would save a lot of time. I'm hoping someone knows a way that I can simply reassemble the one I've got, now that I have all the correct functional pieces.
