Andrew I'm not sure what you mean, do you have any pictures of how to shorten the cable?

My passenger front door won't open from the outside handle.

I tried 2 different spare carriers I had to no avail. Maybe they were meant for a different door? I understand none of the 4 carriers are interchangeable.

I took it apart and I tested outside of the car. I can see that when the door carrier is moved as far as possible, it doesn't move the mechanism on the latch far enough to disengage the lock.

If only I could make this cable a bit shorter
