Default Mirror cable

tried my drivers window today (after replacing my glass) and found that the window binds on the remote mirror cable. It was fine for the first 20 or so ups and down the other night. I tried to move the cable around by taking the joy stick off and moving the cable. This is not an electric mirror. Any ideas? I really don't want to take the door panel off again. Was there a factory hanger for this cable?

thanks,

No hanger that I remember.
The cable is routed forward to the front of the door and then back to clear the window.
Think you're gonna need to pull the door panel again.

Possibly. Check the AIM. The mirror cable might route around the door glass and have a clip on it to keep it out of the way.
