Anyone have one do this before?

Noticed a horrid noise while opening this weekend. Inspection reveals that the slides top cable is coming unraveled and the resulting strand is balling up behind the slide. Looks like a joy to fix....8-(

Here is a thread with the manual, there is a video showing how to replace the cable and the cause of it fraying a how to correct this. I change out my cable in a few hours using the replacement kit. Also there some pics on the thread.

I guess we need to post the cause, every one needs to check there cables for alighment. It's do to improper drilling of the hole that the cable slides through. The cable rubs the side until frying. It will be a bear to change if the cable breaks and get pulled past the pulleys. You my have to grind/drill out the hole bigger.
