03 cl-s 6 Center Console
I am going to be tightening my E-Brake today. I searched and found all the information needed on doing it.
The only question I have is on the two silver panels that run the length of the center console.
How do they connect?
Are they double sided taped on?
Do they snap into place?
When is the best time to try and take them off; before or after taking the screws out?
Are they hard to get back on? Do I need to get some double sided tape?
Any info that you guys could add would be greatly appreaciated.

Excellent, I did this yesterday and my e-brake is finally working agian. Before I did this I counted like 19 clicks LOL and fully engaged it did basically nothing. Now its max at around 8ish clicks and if I pull it while driving it actually stops my car.
The console came out really easy, only a few bolts, anyone with a loose e-brake I suggest that you do this, you can also clean out all the crap that gets stuck in there.

If so, you better make sure the rear brakes aren't dragging...
The rough adjustment is back there, and you need to make sure that the brakes aren't dragging or they'll wear out prematurely. Inskip Acura messed up and had to replace the rear pads on my car
Just figured I mention it... You probably did it right, but since you only mentioned the console

Checking that the rear tire spins freely is escential... and now this info is here for future reference...

For some you also need to adjust at the brake on the rotor itself. I'd say try the center console first, if that doesn't do it then move to the tire.
