    4. CAUTION: The following substeps are to prevent the cables from popping out of the motor housing. If an existing regulator and motor assembly is to be reused, do not allow the cables to pop out of the motor housing, as they can unwind from the drum. If the cables unwind from the drum, a new regulator and motor assembly will have to be installed.
