Hatch pull down cable on rear lock cylinder
I'm working on repairing the pull down assembly but can't remember how the cable that connects to the rear lock cylinder comes off.
Tried turning and twisting but I don't want to break it, as these are no longer available.
Any ideas for getting it off?
Thanks in advance!

It seems you would have to drill
ave to drill out those two rivets to get to the end of the cable.

Re: Hatch pull down cable on rear lock cylinder
The white cap that sits on the lock cylinder is the piece I was trying to get off. All it took was a little more umph and it came right off. It just snaps onto the back of the lock cylinder. The black cable is part of the actuator solenoid.
My motor is good, the relay is good, found a little corrosion in the harness plugs. About to put it back together and in the car to see if it works. The only part I didn't check was the reverse switch on the pulldown assembly.
Thanks again for posting! Great pic too!
