Sticky, Clunky, Jammed electric window

My windows were always a bit slow. A shot of silicone from my mechanic helped a bit a few years ago. More recently it would clunk part way up. Then the one on the driver's side wouldn't go down all the way. I did some googling to read about common window problems on Miatas and found this:Ebay Guide Kit. It's for replacing a guide that often breaks.

The guide wasn't broken, however the kit included a zip tie for fixing a piece of plastic that often breaks as well. I had to take a few different things apart to figure out what was broken first.

Turns out there are cable guides like the plastic tubes that are part of a bike's brake cable in there. A piece of plastic holds on in place, and it broke. Broken, it let the cable get caught by the lowering window, keeping it from going down all the way. There are various methods for holding this in place with either a doohickey that punches through a single hole, or drilling a second hole for a zip tie. I found a nearby hole and used that. We'll see how it does.
