Default Rear Window not going up and down

Ok. It seems like my car is falling apart. My rear window is not rolling up and down. I took apart the rear door panel and it looks like the white clip that holds the wire in place that rolls the window up and down fell off. I can't see anything and don't know where it goes. any tips or pics on how to fix the rear window?

My rear windows have been broke for so long, I can barely remember when they worked. I unhooked the switches and ride with the AC on or front windows down only.

its not the motor on mine. the motor is still good. its the cables that pull the windows up and down came off the track so i'm trying to figure out how and any tips on getting those cables back on the track.

Yeah, the motor is good on mine too. I have the same problem you do, its the cable or a clip on it or something. When it first happened i went to the dealer and the part was cheap but the labor was way high. so i unhooked the switch so that nobody got in the car and pressed the window down and it got stuck.

I ended up doing the same thing. I someone fixed the clip with zip ties to hold it in place. but for some reason their was some extra slack even though the wires were ran through the clips at the top and bottom. i have no idea where the slack came from so i ended up just making the window go up and not plugging the switch back in. wahoo. what an eventful day.

crap I didn't realize the windows were such a pain on this car! One of the windows on the car I'm looking at buying doesn't work and one other is intermittent (you can hear the motor running on both). I figured it would be like my brother's maxima which was a pretty easy fix...
