Cable attaches with white clip. 1” below this is 2nd attachment point. Why does bracket have 2 places to attach cable? ![IMG_2423](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/6/f6c37b68c7751bd8450c7e773d3c63f779219414.jpeg) ---

Are you looking to solve a problem? Or are you just thinking out loud? ---

I removed assy to fix another issue. And attached cable in position #2. And door would not open. Why is bracket designed with 2 mounting points but you only use 1? ---

A guess: the part is used on another model (or trim level or whatever) which uses the other attachment point.
