The loop is bolted in the roof channel. It’s length actually lifts the folded door a bit when hooked in place. Lift the folded door up at the middle joint, hook one side, let down so hook is holding folded door up, then lift again and do the other side. I guess this is meant to take the load off the vertical door channel and roller when bouncing down the road with the door open. I very rarely do that as I’m on dirt roads and get a tremendous dust storm in the rig if I do.
Your FD cable pic is a bit soft but it doesn’t look original, the big hex thing should be a nut that turns on a larger diameter shaft. The FD knob should screw on to the pull cable shaft that should be 4mm diameter iirc as noted by @65swb45. Maybe your pull cable is broken at the shaft as it appears to not stick out like it needs to to thread the knob on. A side pic might help to show what’s going on with it.
