Don't have any pictures but I've had to fix 6 windows now for my and my wife's car. 1st time my car was under warranty so I let the dealer do it while I watched.

When I took off the door panel the next time one broke, I found the cable off of the track laying loosely in the door. Usually one of the plastic guides would break letting the cable loose.

I bought a new motor and regulator from Ed Morad for $40.00 the first window and just replaced everything but I kept the old motor and disassembled the regulator just in case I needed any of the plastic guides or a spare motor for later.

Next time the wife complained about another window I took the door apart and sure enough the end guide at the bottom had broke. Still had a good one from the last regulator but I couldn't figure out how to get the cable through the guide and then after rewinding the cable through the motor housing put it back in. It just never seemed to have enough room to fit. Maybe this will save a few of you a couple of bucks by just buying the plastic guide that broke vs the whole regulator like I did.

Puting the cable back in:
Take the motor and the housing apart. 3 bolts and the black plastic housing will separate from the motor. Wind the cable around the white sprocket evenly then put back into the black housing. Use duct tape to keep sprocket from falling out. Run cable through top plastic guide making sure that it is connected to the window mount. (Horizontal part or T part of the regulator that connects to the window) Bottom plastic guide should already be removed from window regulator at this time. String the cable through the bottom plastic guide and then pull till you can insert the plastic guide back into the regulator metal frame where it goes.

That's how they do it, allowing the guide and cable to fit perfectly. I tried it backwards and ran the cable all through the regulator and guides and then tried to align the sprocket and springs back into the motor housing for an hour and could never get it to fit. Tried it the way mentioned above and it worked.

Installing back in car:

1st thing when putting everything back together when installing into front left window. Take just the motor with no cabling (remove three bolts and the cable housing separates from the motor) and plug it in to the front left window controller switch. Push the automatic down so the motor automatically moves and then stops at the utmost down position. Then unplug motor and have ready for the next step.

2nd with the regulator installed back in the door frame and the window attached, lower the window to the correct down position matching the height of the passenger window. Then put the motor and the black cable housing back together. Then mount motor in the door frame attach the wiring and put the window up.

This way allows you to hit the automatic down and the window will stop at the correct position. If you have the regulator and the motor at the wrong position when putting them back together the automatic down will not work correctly and you take the risk of snapping another plastic guide. (Yes, I did it wrong the first time)

All the other windows shouldn't matter because there is no automatic down option. Just put the motor and cable sprocket together, install, and roll up and down like usual.
