Default What is a Zap Latch/Cable?

Before I took my car to service, everything seems fine. After having my Honda CRV 2006 serviced at Mr.Lube, the Technician said something about a part that is missing a bolt which causes the part in the car to be loose. When i drive high speeds, i hear sounds like rocks tumbling.

The technician mentioned something about needing a zap latch/cable to hold it in place.

I was unable to find what this zip latch/cable is on the internet, and i might of remembered wrong. Anyone know what this zap latch/cable thing is??

What part is loose? If it is missing a bolt, why not just replace it with a bolt? The oil change person probably is referring to using a cable zip tie to hold it in place of the missing bolt.

I figure it out it was actually the bumper that was missing the bolt, I have one last question to ask before closing this thread, which type bolt does a Honda CRV 2006 use? Please and Thank you,

Which bumper (front or rear) and where is this bolt located? Can you post a photo?

Bumper covers use a combination of bolts and plastic clips. More clips than bolts.

Thank you but I took it back to Mr. Lube, they call me for the mistake they did and they fixed the lower bumper with the one they took it by mistake. So the matter is solved. Thank you anyways for the help.
