Sliding Rear Window Cable Broke?

[maarmour]

Driving home tonight, I hit the button to open my rear sliding window and it stopped half way and now will not move (with the button) in either direction. It appears the cable either broke or came loose on the passenger side. Anyone else have this happen.

I have 35542 miles on the truck and need to drive about 400 miles tomorrow. Should I contact the dealership to tell them before my miles exceed the 36000?

Yes, I would contact the dealership before it hits 36k.

Well, I got into the motor that powers the window and the cable was all bound up in the motor. Unfortunately the motor is riveted (sp) together and I can not budge the cable. I am going to call my dealer in the morning and let him know.
