Top left & right sides move in opposite directions

I'm now having a new problem though, as aligning the left/right sides turned out to be harder than expected. Plus, the right cable is either busted or there's an issue with the right transmission. The top worked briefly and stopped while I was working on alignment.

It doesn't seem to be too big of an issue. I just hope nothing was bent or damaged. I'll check it and update.

Thanks again for the great information!

I'll pipe in here......Now is the time, given your effort to date, to replace BOTH cables from motor to transmissions. Once you have good cables, you should fine alignment to be pretty straight forward (although slow). I used a cordless drill to drive my cables to align both sides. Take your time and make small adjustments to both sides as you get closer. You got this!

If one side abruptly stopped moving at all, I would suspect that the square end of the drive cable has slipped out of the square hole in the worm gear in the transmission, or at the other end, the square hole in the end of the motor shaft. The cable is free to be pushed back and forth through the outer cable, with nothing to limit its travel. I would check the transmission end first.
