It looks like a clip for securing coax cable to the side of your house. I don't know why it happens to be right there, though.

I bet a PO had a wire secured in that at some point.

Power off the fuse box to some long missing 8 track player?

Is that a switch for the sliding door, or have I totally misinterpreted that photo? What does it do? Light of some kind? I wonder when they came in?...

Not a VW or a Westfalia screw or clamp, PO leftovers is my guess.

guys, you're being silly. That's the holder for the extra shifter cable. Those pesky things are always breaking.
