I managed to kink the wire on both my doors when replacing the window motors. Ford part number is 92GBA22600-AA.
Do not fear the wire is easy to straighten if it gets bent. Wrap cloth around wire, apply pressure and draw the length of the wire in a gentle curve so the bend “disappears”. Wire gets very hot when you do this from the friction. Alternatively find a retired GPO telephone engineer who's worked on Strowger type exchanges and ask him to straighten the wire for you. The principle is the same as straightening GPO 3000 type relay contacts. If you are unsure practice on a thin wire clothes hanger first (I would post a video but my better half has re-cycled all our dry-cleaner hangers, can't persuade her that re-cycle is old-hat and "RE-USE" is now all the rage!)
I think window roller guides for SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 models are similar and are readily available, but compare with the original on your door first.
