    Engine Cover Latch Cable Assembly Photo Wanted

    Does anyone have a picture of the engine cover cable attached to the backplate of the car fully assembled? I'm putting the rear plate/fascia on the back of my car and I forget what the hooked up cable looks like with the two nuts on it, etc. Thank you!

    Until you get a photo from somebody maybe this will help.

    Be sure to click on the image to enlarge it and see where the two adjustment nuts and washers sit at the latch end of the cable.

    I thought this is easy, I'll just run out to the car and take a photo. Not. The cable connects inside the facia. I removed the engine cover plate in the engine compartment but it was not easy to get my camera in there. So here are the photos. Not particularly good, but the best I could do.

    Thank you both for the help. Looks like my plastic nut is in two pieces and broken, which is why I was confused as to the assembly. Now to figure out what it's called and how to source a replacement!
