Thanks for the suggestion.

That car-side connector is a poor design, IMO. It's held in place with flimsy plastic struts, which I of course broke trying to figure out why it was loose to begin with. Oops. So, looks like the only way to firmly attach is to remove the front wheel liner. I take the wheel off and go to remove the first plastic rivet...and snap it in two.

Oh well. Such is life. I'm going to order a few dozen plastic rivets from Pellican, take a few days off of car maintainence to regain my patience, and try again
