Frayed window motor cable Options

[shift94]

So over this past weekend, after going out for a drive and coming back home my driver side window made a crunching type noise going up. After taking the door panel off, i realized that the cable that raises and lowers the window is starting to fray and is jamming the power window motor. Has anybody had any luck fixing this aside from replacing the entire motor/regulator assembly? I really dont want to spend 100 bucks just because a cable is fraying.

Just as a follow up. This week the nut worked its way of the end of the cable and my window came falling down. I still believe this is a more effective way of fixing the window regulator that just replacing the entire thing but you would need to find a better way to attach a stopper to the end of the cable. As a side note, I've tried melting lead onto the end but the cable pulled off of the lead with the weight of the window on it. I've resorted to pulling a regulator assembly off the passenger side of a junkyard celica with crank windows and resourced the cables to fix my driver side power window.
