Wanted rear cable release guide
 
I'm not sure what to call this except a guide. Recently my rear trunk actuator went out and after disassembling the lock mechanism I found that my emergency cable had no guide, just laying in the metal area above the solenoid or actuator that opens the trunk when you push the button. What I need is the black guide at the top of the picture...I have drawn an arrow to the actual item.

Thanks
Dwight

Dwight - did you check w/Woody? He should have a boatload of them.

Dwight, I'm pretty sure you need the whole cable to get the end piece, the cables are available new for a reasonable rice or you can buy one used. I have a used cable available

Never post early or very late
 
I realized there is no way to just add this....not without cutting the cable which would be stupid. When I replaced my Actuator I made a loop out of a heavy zip tie that should be good forever.

That's hilarious. I was certain that was not serviceable. Glad touch found a solution
