Having driven a BJ8 for a couple decades I’d gotten in the habit of bracing my left knee against the door, esp. in hard right turns. I broke that habit after hitting the cable opener in my BN2 a couple times.

At the top it was attached to the horizontal wood piece held there with two countersunk wood screws. At the bottom, it entered and turned to the inside and was secured with two rivets to the door bottom frame piece.
