Question beetle 2005 convertible driver door cable and window

Hi, I have a beetle 2005 and recently had a problem with the cable reel for the driver door to open the car from the inside. I dismantled the inner cover and saw that the cable was torn - How can I change the cable reel especially on the lock-side?
second point: while I was working on the door I realized, that the holder for the glass was loose - I found the screw to tighten this but how strong are you allowed to tighten the screw?
Thanks for help, colan

Hand tight, but I would use "removable" Loctite as the screw has worked itself loose once.
