Default Hatch emergency release cable

Is the hatch emergency release cable supposed to have a small handle like the one for the gas cap emergency release? On my 2002 Z06 the gas cap wire has a small handle, but not the wire for the hatch. Very importand question, I know... but I'd like to know :o

That's the way my '00 was also. If you have an owners manual, it will show you in there where the release cables are. If you don't have a manual, you can download one from www.gmpartshouse.com.

The 2002 manual states that there should be a glow in the dark handle located at the rear wall (expect for coupe). I guess the Z06 should not be concidered a Coupe in this case. I can see the wire, but no handle. I need to find a handle to complete the car then. Anybody know the part #?
