Does anyone know what the rubber "grommet" piece is called on the rear release cable- for a 1989 IROC convertible- where the cable attaches to the release mechanism ?? And where I can find one without having to buy the whole release cable assembly... I have the cable but I'm missing that rubber piece. It goes into the U shaped piece that is part of the assembly under the tonneau cover. Just picked up a black with red accent stripes IROC Z convertible and it may be the most fun I've had in a car...

 

Are you referring to the plastic handle that the cable attaches to in order to pull and rotate the lever releasing the pin? I may have one.

I'm not sure it's a plastic piece. it appears to be a rubber piece but I could be wrong. It would be before where the cable attaches to the release lever, and it goes into the U shaped opening in the bracket that is attached to the release lever mechanism. Can you show me a picture ? My computer skills are less than stellar... thanks for responding

here is a pic someone had posted - it would be the piece on the left of the whole mechanism, where the cable enters that bracket. Then the exposed cable goes to the lever...

 

this is the piece... (many thanks to my 10 year old nephew)

 

Pretty sure that piece isn't replaceable and you would need a new cable assembly

 

I had one for him.

Many thanks to Lon !
