replacing cord in hood

Dear ifixit,

I just bought a brand new Patagonia Northwall jacket in paintbrush red. Unfortunately, I don't like that the draw cords in the hood and waist are the same color as the jacket. It's part of the Touch Point system that has an embedded cord lock sewn into each side of the hood and hem. In order to replace the current draw cords with a black or grey drawcord, is there anyway I can achieve this without having to remove the stitching? I don't think anyone has ever requested something like this before. Thanks.

Regards,
