My solution consisted of criss-crossing cable ties around the hood.  One
cable tie assembly (I used 2 ties per assembly because 1 is too short)
would go from the back left of the hood (next to the cable) to the right
front and catch the clip.  The other assembly would do the same thing,
only the other way.

If the above makes any sense, I ran one set of cable ties around the
connector from A to A', and anothe set from B to B'.  This works best if
the connector has square corners, but if not, you might be able to rig
another cable tie at AB to hold the other two in place.  Epoxy might do
the trick, too.
