the tension cable is connected using a ball-socket kind of attachment, so it's simple as pulling it out and replacing with new.
Yes, it's a 2004 so thanks for confirming. I will order a new cable and replace asap. Thanks.

The strap attaches to a Velcro pad located under the back middle of the convertible top to keep it out of the way of top operation.

Does the tension cable need to be adjusted at all, or just replaced?

only if you think the canvas is not tight enough, you can adjust by turning the screw next to the lower ball.
