I've operated the hood a few times since I first noticed it getting out of
whack, full travel and return doesn't fix it, but if you mean that the
plastic handle can be removed and pulling it off the cable by 1/2" helped,
then I haven't tried that.

Any idea how the piece attaches to the cable?  If it is a separate piece as
I hope and expect, then maybe I can disconnect, orient and reconnect it.  Of
course I'm not sure how it ended up this way in the first place :P

Thanks for the help.
