By photo I really meant a drawing of how all the parts go together. Like in
a parts manual.

Why don't you just take it apart and have a look-see?

But, to answer your question, shop manuals cost money and typically people
do not want to part with money for nothing.

Hey, as long as you have a chatty relationship with the dealer, why don't
you ask them to take a peek?

Thanks for the reply,
Well I did have it apart to find the broken part, but it had fallen out,
and although I could see where it was supposed to go I couldn't make it go
there, too much tension on the cables. As far as the dealer, I did take it
back to him, but , I suppose, since I had tried to fix it myself, he
replaced a lot of parts that were just fine. However, they may do that
normally also. Long story short, $300.00 later the window works fine. Not
bad for 2 broken plastic clips, well at least for the dealer. But he did
know how to install them, I didn't.

Just as an aside, factory service manuals really are worth the money.
They usually cost between $50 and $100 but they are so worth it...
maybe they cost even more nowadays.
Even if you only use them once to fix one thing on your car, the money
you saved by doing it yourself pays for the manual.
