Battery Cable

I have an MCS with the Works package, including the air cleaner.

Ever since I got the car back from the dealer for the air cleaner installation, the battery cable next to the air cleaner keeps popping out of the bracket holding it to the air cleaner box. I know this is not a big deal, but it bothers me to see it out of place.

Does anyone know what I can do, besides taking it back to the dealer, to keep the cable in the bracket? I do not see any clips or other means of securing it.

Mine does the same thing. It seems the clips that hold the two pins that secure the terminal box in place dont grip as tight because the opening is slightly larger. I had luck putting little sections of plastic tubing over the pins to make them fit tighter in the clips.
