Wiring question

I have a D2 in my 5th Gen.

A month or so after I had my unit installed I noticed that my XM tuner would shut off if I went over bumps. I looked behind the dash and found that one of the power wires doesn't have a clip on the end. Rather, it's just bare wire folded and shoved into the plastic piece which is inserted in the XM tuner. So when I go over bumps, it's contact is occasionally lost, thus shutting off the tuner.

What can I get to put on this wire so that I can properly secure it to the plastic piece which is inserted into the tuner?

Use tape or use shink wrap and that should fix the problem.

It's cold out and I don't want to take it apart more than once, unnecessarily. I'll try. I'm afraid I may have to transplant one from another Pioneer HU that I have. What a PITA.
