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.

It's really difficult to remove the damaged strands and it's HIGHLY likely that you're just going to have the same problem again. You're really MUCH better off replacing the regulator; it's not that difficult and if you don't want to fork out $90 for it from Toyota, check http://www.car-part.com for a national junk yard interchange where you can source it from a yard.
