My bad, thought you meant a mod like with a hacksaw or grinder. I had to widen the slots too.I had to deepen and widen the slot. Otherwise the cable would not move.

Good luck. The window regulators are a PITA job (ask me how I know). IF you are doing regulators, replace lock actuators also. I have one left to do...I got replacement cables (window & lift gate) at rockauto.com & they fit. After the hood hit me in the head I got an idea & replaced all gas struts on the rig at one time. Then, same logic, rockauto replacements for emergency brake cables just for p.m. Next up are window regulators cuz the plastic in those (assuming they're the cable type & not geared), can't last forever. Trying to get more good years outa the old girl. She's paid for, so some serious p.m. isn't that big a bite & she's fairly easy to work on excepting those last 2 spark plugs.
My 2001 the rear lock actuators started acting up. I found the 1/4 inch rivet (black head) at the door edge had popped off and the actuator was loose. Drill out the rivet and replace. If you try to remove the actuator from inside the door and pop it off its steel spring saddle you will be cursing yourself. Don't do this. Remove the rivet. Try to fix with new rivets. The actuator probably is just fine.Good luck. The window regulators are a PITA job (ask me how I know). IF you are doing regulators, replace lock actuators also. I have one left to do...
