My passenger side window won’t go up and down. From what i can see after taking the door panel off, some sort of braided cable snapped in two.

I went to shop and they quoted me 350 + tax. Said that the regulator needed to be replaced. Not quite sure what the regulator is.

Any insight on fixing this problem and above information would be great.  
Are they correct…etc?

ya, that would be ideal.

Curious though, when replacing the assembly, what will happen with the sliders? They are attached to the glass correct. From what I see in the manual, you must replace the whole assembly?
