good-luck. mine was stuffed, wires had splints, had to throw it out. Couldn't find new one so bought one second hand. Fit it by first removing the glass then you have to first roll some of the wire on the pulley(both directions)then you while holding the pulley and wires in place with one hand the other hand has to then feed the wires through the pulleys on the door(one of the door pulleys is adjustable so back it off , then tighten it when done)then when wire is through all the pulleys in the same sequence(copy from pass door)get the pulley you've been holding in your hands and pull it into place and bolt it in.
Then re-place the glass and hope for the best.
If it doesn't work or the wires come back off check the wires followed the same path as the pass door, also check all pulleys because as happened to me one of the pulleys was damaged and it kept on spitting the wire out.

im not to sure but thios might work.

The coupe have the same dpor size roughly as the wagon and they use a mechanism the same as the sedans the cog type. I suggest u find one of these winders and try it in the wagon if it might fit

my mate fixed mine, all you have to do is drill out the part where the cable is held in to the winder, put in a new cable and put a D shackle type thing on the end of the cable to stop it pulling out
