E-Brake doesn't hold Options

[PegGTS]

So my e-brake works fine for the most part, but when I park on a slope like my girlfriend's driveway, the car always seems to roll back slowly, no matter how hard I pull the handle. I've tried pulling it until it won't go anymore and it still doesn't want to stay. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

it's a balance between the dial adjusters on each rear wheel and the adjuster on the end of the brake lever.
you should be able to take the console off and screw the nut on the brake lever down just a bit. I would tighten it just a little more and then test to see if it holds the car on a hill. They say it should go 7-10 clicks on the lever, but if your ebrake shoes are worn or adjusted too far at the hub it may go a few more clicks. As long as it holds the car without the lever going All the way up you'll be alright. If not you'll have to take the wheel off and adjust back there.
It is possible to get it too tight, and the car may roll at first but the ebrake may suddenly start making an awful noise as it catches at a random moment while driving down the road. /cringe

if anybody remembers a band called Method of Destruction MOD, they had a song called What the FCKK was that FCKKing noise, ...it sounded just like that
