Default 1982 hatchback window broken

Does anyone know how I can fix my window? When I pull the hatch nothing happens. It just slides in and out it doesn't seem to be attached to anything. Here's a video down below.

If memory serves, there is a bowden cable from the release lever to the left side latch and another between the latches.

Do you have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? The AIM shows the hatch opening mechanism and the linkages.

Pull the carpet down right behind the pull handle and see if the cable broke at the handle.
