What you may want to try is to run the emergency cable thru the same 
rubber plug that the existing cable runs thru. Make a loop, put a 
handle, or have excess cable on the end so you can grab it to pull. 
Then just tape the rest in place against the top/back of the foot 
well so it doesn't fall down. This way you have a back up cable, but 
you can keep it inside locked up where no one can get to it.
