Thanks for the info. actually the cable broke on the side that supposed to close the window(going-up).so, a complete assembly would be the best way(i guess). ive tried a few wreckers but they all told me that they dont have avalons in their yards at the moment. avalons are not as common as camrys here in OZ. but i was just thinking of a quicker way to solve my prob. there is a 2 month wait on a brand new one. unless i stumble on a dealer that has it on stock. but will have to keep trying. thanks again.
