[SIZE="3"]Just go down to the local Ace hardware store and buy springs of a small to medium wire size and about 2" long.

Attach one end of the spring to the rear end of the cable and on the other side, make sure that there is a loop small enough for a screw head to not fall through. Screw it into the back of the pillar post and you're done.

Thanks bud, I had done just that even before I posted.. thing is, that the springs needs to have a certain tension I think.

But since I'm **** about making things perfect, specially when it comes to my car, I figured someone here knew where to get such springs from a particular vendor.

The Home Depot springs are working nicely though.
Thanks again.
