I had to recently remove my rear door card. When refitting it, the one at the top that operates the lock and unlock lever seemed a bit long. The plastic holder clipped in tightly into the tab that it needs to but when pushing the door car back in it almost seeed a bit long that the wire/cable looked like it had a bit of excess that was buldging in the middle. It went in and didnt stop the door card going back in. But just wondering are these cables not supposed to be correct length?
