Abstract
An attachment for readily connecting and disconnecting a tensioned cable of a cable drive window regulator mechanism to a movable window of a vehicle door assembly comprises a ferrule secured to the cable which is guided for movement in opposite directions along a guide track and a slider or sash plate which is molded to the window and slidably supported on the guide rail. The sash plate has an integrally molded boss portion defining a ferrule receiving pocket and a through slot to enable the cable to be pulled therethrough against its tension bias and the sash plate to then be positioned behind the ferrule to align the pocket with the ferrule whereupon the cable can be released and with the tension bias causing the ferrule to be moved within the pocket to drivingly connect the same to the sash plate.
