Tailgate Release Cable

Anyone know how to adjust this cable so it stops coming off the latch in the boot??

My BA Hatch needs the cable tightening too, sometimes the hatch doesn't pop...

Doesn't appear to be any adjustment on this cable, it's probably just stretched with age

It may be a bit fiddly but if you put a cut in a small washer/s so they fit over the cable and used them as spacers or use a pair of pliers to adjust the mounting point.
