you can't take the cable off, you need to buy a whole new regulator.
i had the cable go on 3 different windows in my ED Fairmont. they're not cheap either.  :

they're quite easy to fit. they have some seriously big Rivits holding them in. you'll have to drill them out. don't worry if you cant get rivits big enough to replace them (or a rivit gun for that matter) just use some short M6 allen head screws with a spring washer>
did the trick on my 3 windows! |

you can replace the cable.
pull the regulator apart and make sure whats broken has broken, if you can get the cable off then you're laughing. i thought my cable had broken but it ended up being the plasic clip that holds it to the window bracket, repaired and was back on my way. pull apart completely before buying a new one
