[s-cars] Okay, I'll actually ask a question for the list...

[Mike Miller]

I did the same thing for now with the cable ties. I assume eventually, 
being wire rubbing on plastic, they will fail.

I also fished two cable ties out where I can get to them with needle 
nose pliers if something goes haywire. I really do not want to have to 
try to release it from the bottm again!
