Window regulator advice

My X was overdue for breaking on me, but fortunately it's no worse than the drivers side window stuck down. And you know, it's still nice and warm here, so no big deal.

I took it apart today and found that the metal and plastic piece kit must be a cable guide?) Was broken. I could get the window to roll up if I helped it out. While taking out the window I broke the two plastic clibs that hold it to the regulator as well.

Should I replace the whole regulator at this point, or just replace the two clips and the cable guide? Should I just lube up the regulator and put it back since it seems to work fine?

Also, should I replace my driver's door handle while I have the door apart as a preventative maintenance?

Thanks!
