Wire in A pillar rattle

Found a rattle and fixed it! Removed the A pillar plastic cover and there was a wire underneath that was rattling around. It looks like it was supposed to be attached to some plastic clips with pieces of ribbon.. the ribbon had untied.. very weird way to keep the wire in place on BMWs part very confusing. Taped it in place.

Posting in case this happens to anyone else.

Ah bummer. The clips that the wire I referenced were attached to seem to come loose easily also. That whole thing is basically an echo chamber with it being a plastic cylinder.
