Default Emergency Brake Adjustment

Has anyone had their emergency brake adjusted? i noticed my emergency brake has to be pulled all the way up and it barely holds the car in place.

Anyone know how difficult of a process it is to do this adjustment?

Thanks

Although it can likely be adjusted, don't depend on it for much. It doesn't really "grab" until you've pulled it all the way up like you've described.
It's just a parking brake, that's all.

There is a self adjusting component to it but you have to know the "secret".

Lots of info and procedures in here:
