[Miata] Wonky hood release

[John Freas]

OK, I'm not actually lazy, but with a 3 year old running around and second
on the way I don't have a lot of time to go poking around the car looking
for answers to minor nuisances these days.

Here's the thing:  The hood release pull on the inside of the car is sitting
90° off from its correct orientation.  I can twist it and tweak it as much
as I like but it simply returns to that position.  I'm guessing that
something up front is installed wrong or misaligned, but before I start
unbolting things I'd like to have an idea of what's going on.  Anyone else
experienced something like this?

Is there a way to change the orientation of the plastic pull handle on the
cable itself?  I don't even know how it attaches since I've not had a chance
to look at it closely.

Thanks in advance.
