How to set up cords to do their own thing when running a d-Force sym

Hi,
Bit of a conumdrum here. I have this poet shirt I made and I have i rigged for Genesis 8 Male, works great. Added in the sym stuff and ran that, looks good except the cords are rigged to follow the chest bones so they don't move naturally when posing Mr. in a new pose and running the sym again.
So will I
1) have to set up each cords own bone rig and if so is there a tutorial around that can help with that?
2) a way to weight map them so they move of their own accords when running a sym?
I do have each cord as it's own face group and both cords are weight mapped pure red except at the very top so keep them from slidding off of the shirt. I think the bones are holding them in place though as they still have no independent movement when the figures is posed and the a sym is ran....

Mada has a youtube tutorial using a poets shirt when she made the coords non dynamic so the rest of the shirt could move. basically you need to repaint the weightmaps for what is dynamic and what is not and adjust strengths.
Hmmm, I would think that paiting them red would alow for allot of movement but that's what did but I think the bones are keeping them frozen against the shirt! I did model them so they could be moved if I set them up like that.
