Funny though, it does seem to hold with the car facing uphill, but never downhill. Do you think your solution would help, or is that a whole 'nother problem?
I'll bring the pizza and soft drinks...

Great job on the write up. Thanks for sharing since the e-brake is a common problem with the car.
It's now saved in my subscriptions, and I'll give it a try next time the console is apart.
