The windows roll up and down - no issues.
These images show the mystery cable on the passenger side w/the window in the up/down position and the cable seems to end behind the door release handle - ditto for the drivers side.
So, what is their function?
Sunday/funday,
Tommy

It's where the other end of the lift cable goes when it's not in the main track.

what 'operates' the window is a spring wounded cable. Your photo shows the end of that spring wound cable. The rubber disc keeps the cable from banging around inside the door.

Thanks for the replies.
So, it is supposed to be there?
