[DML] Engine compartment latch?

["John Rydholm" <ebondefender@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy fellow DeLorean owners/fans,
One other thing I was wondering about is the engine cover and louvre 
compartment. My DeLorean has no catch or latch to keep the 
compartment securely shut. And like the manual shows, there is a pull 
switch behind my driver's seat that is supposed to pop the "boot" or 
in this case, rear hood. However, due to the combined weight of the 
sunshade and engine cover, I never have to worry about it popping up 
even when I'm on a bumpy, dirt road. But am I missing a piece that 
goes back there or what?
(The funny thing is, my other car has the exact opposite of a 
problem: the hood is pretty much jammed shut and jury rigged to open 
via what's left of my hood release cable! Murphy's law. >_<)
