2003 EB rear liftgate cable

[jakespoon]

Rear liftgate would not open, (like it was locked-the handle would not "grab"), so i decided to rip it open and see what the problem was. Discovered that the cable itself was broken at the tip where it attaches to the handle.
Got it out but cant seem to find a part# on the web...

Can anyone give me a part number for this rascal?

and calling the stealership is the LAST RESORT for me

Search online for a cheap solution. It calls for a ziptie to get it working again. Can't remember which generation of Expy it's for, but worth a shot.

I'm guessing #43870. For a whopping $32.62.

Thanks for the input.

The zip tie thing won't work for me as the actual cable itself broke and there is nothing to attach to the lever...

42.38 out the door from the stealership. Got it in 1 day. Planning on doing a video to load to youtube for the next poor soul who has to deal with this issue.

Thank you to jakespoon, my cable broke today and you saved me a ton of time with your part number. Located mine for $40.00 shipped. Seems to be the average going price for a $6.00 part.
