Default What is this part? Where does it go?

I've removed and replace my sunroof frame and mechanism. It's still not working and I have these clips left over but I don't know where they go. Does anyone know about them or what they are for?

Looks like they are parts #13 .....and maybe also #14 in this diagram.

Yeah pretty sure they are no 13, but where does it go. That diagram is not to helpful with that

Not sure, but it looks like it "separates-and-secures" the two "pipes" in place.

The diagram shows that the clips are near the bends of the tubing but the picture I found shows them positioned more towards the centre and the bends appear to be zip-tied.

They are cable actually not pipes.

Thanks, this was what I needed. But unfortunately I don't think putting them in place is going to solve whats going one with my sunroof. After replacing the whole frame and sliders the motor does not engage the cable. I can hear the teeth of the gear rubbing against the cable but it doesn't move it. I think I'm going to have to replace the frame again.

So I figured out why I couldn't get the motor to engage with the cable. These little disc on the cables have to line up with the thin slots on the motor. Without them lining up it keeps the gear in the motor just away from the cable. How do I Get these things to line up? Any tips???
