Keeping PWM cables in Jags

We've had a few critical PWM cables to the jags controlling our pickup mechanism fall out at the jaguars. We are using silicone caulk to try to keep them in but it's failed once and we are looking for alternative ways to keep the cables in, preferably ways that can be undone when we want them and ways we can use and set (in the case of caulk) before midnight Tuesday.

Are you routing the PWM wires thru the plastic hooks that are provided in the front of the Jag specifically for that purpose?

Re: Keeping PWM cables in Jags

And if you need something else to secure them: hot glue, and lots of it. Of course, it might be hard to get the cables back out...
