Gary,
Believe it or not, I've been told by a couple of folks that when that cable broke and you took it to the dealer, they grabbed a PRYBAR and forced it open, then did the required body/paint repairs. Thanks for the note, though. Although I have seen this on most cars I've inspected, it is not on my car of two weeks, and it should move to the front of my to-do list.
