Ruined? ... no. The correct answer here is you should go get your annual service done so it is inspected, etc. The first question I would ask is whether it is a piston regulator (you can look that up online through the manufacturer ... they look more elongated in general) or is it a diaphragm first stage? If it is a diaphragm, I would not use it at all until it is inspected and you may just wish to get your annual service. It is not ruined, but water in that first stage has a definite possibility of affecting performance. On a piston regulator, it will function if you get water in the first stage. But obviously the water needs to come out. The other caution is putting it on the regulator and turning it on ... which will then blow the water out of the first stage into the hoses ... and possibly some into your pressure gauge (the second stages should not be affected). If you did that, I wouldn't panic yet ... everything is probably fine. So the overall cautious advice is just take it in to be service. But it is not ruined at all and is an easy fix.

Cable not connected on window regulator?

Replace the regulator. Once the cable comes off, it's toast. That usually means there's a broken plastic guide. They cannot be purchased separately.
