Expy window cable broke

I have a 2003 Expedition and the left rear window was stuck near the top (closed) position. About 3" open at the top.
Anyways, I get the door panel off and work the window and see that the cable that operates the window is frayed really bad at the pulley and wadded up.
It is frayed at the top where it attaches to the window also.
Does anyone know if you can buy just the cable or do you have to buy the entire window assembly? (minus the glass)
Also would like to hear any suggestions on how to do this procedure.
Thanks!

Are you talking about the electrical wire that runs the motor getting bound up?
