Window Regulator Cable

So my rear passenger window regulator messed up on me. The motor works fine (as far as I can tell), but the cable wire is what is messed up. When I took it apart, the two cable wires came off the pulley system and coiled up as the window went down.
Question is = is there a fix for the cables, or do I have to get a whole new system?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Kevin

this is one of those parts that requires actual use NOT to break vs thinking "it won't break, if I don't use it" - I roll down ALL my windows as often as possible (vs driving with the a/c on all the time) - this keeps the cable flexible and prevents kinking - 63k miles, and counting, since I last had one break soon after buying it in June, 2005.
