A method of fabricating a window regulator includes the step of providing a cable, a window connection on the cable, sheaths for protecting the cable, cable direction-changers, a cable winding drum, a drum support plate, and springs. The method further includes the steps of passing the cable between the direction-changers, inside the springs, inside the sheaths, and around the drum. The method further includes the steps of tensioning a first cable run extending through a first sheath between a first direction-changer and the drum, tensioning the first cable run urging the first sheath against the drum support plate, and compressing a first spring between the first sheath and the support plate. The method further includes the steps of locking the drum against rotation, compressing a second spring between a second sheath and the support plate, and locking the second spring.
