Put that end in first then the other end. It looks like you have to go further with 1 side that the other? well that side goes in first. IIRC its the handbrake to the N/s wire that goes in first and then the offside one just falls in preety much :-)

I've tryed it both ways but, your saying put the cable in the bigger bracket and attach it to the smaller one last ?.. taking it off was minimal effort :/ lol

Cant rememer which is which ..

You got facebook ben ? Save's getting bummed for "spam" lol

Its not really spam when its helping you out.

iirc the way i did it was to remove the small bracket that holds the cables, the nearside has to go further across the bracket to go in and so that went in first and the other side just goes in upwards so doesent have to stretch as far, i put that in second. Pic below kinda explains it:
