When I worked at Burroughs Corp. (1958-61) I serviced bookkeeping machines. The time allowed for one repair was ridiculously short. I went to Church with the man who had written the book and asked him how it could be done so fast when it took more time that that to get the carriage & case off. His reply was "their machines didn't have those parts on when they were timing them" I think he may work for Fleetwood now.
I would suggest NAPA with their books of power window pictures. I would be willing to bet Fleetwood used an existing part there.
I did go to NAPA and they said they could find nothing, a friend over on the other board found these which are almost identical. My NAPA store seems inept at looking things up

I have actually come up with what I think is a good idea and am in the process of trying it. I pulled the cable out of the regulator and reversed it. The bad section is now at the window end and the section that never went through the gears so the motor are at the motor end. I have the cable reinserted and it operates smoothly. I have enough confidence that this will work that I will try putting it back into the coach.
It is bolted back in the bus and seems to work perfectly.
Pictures will be posted in
