Parking Brake
Interested to know the degree of firmness – lever position, others experience when engaging the parking brake. Mine seems a bit excessive at about 55-60* (9 clicks; seems to be the max.) in order to qualify a firm hold when in Drive, and uncertain whether it’s average or needs attention. Just attempting to keep in check moments of an automobile that may fall out of adjustment. Tia

Sounds excessive but can't say for sure without feeling it.
Here's probably more than you want to know about the parking brake but it's good info:

Mine got so bad it couldn't quite hold the car on a steep hill when the lever was pulled up to the last click. I adjusted it and now it only takes about 3-4 clicks.
