Just wondering if my E-Brake lever is normal.

It's been this way ever since I had the car. I just recently started using the E-Brake when parking my car.

As you can see through these pictures, the lever is over the passenger side console trim.

Shouldn't it go straight up and down? not all wonky to the passenger side?



Also, see the part of the leather that looks dulled?
Is there any way I can cover that up?



In the picture above you can see a bulge on the driver side (noted in the red dot). This part seems to be in its track (straight)? The bulge feels like a metal part under the leather.



Any tips?

Thanks!

 

thats normal, mine has the "curve" shape to it to and also covers the passengers trim thing when its up

 

Thanks dude.

So it's not supposed to go straight up and down eh?

 

not that i know of, unless our cars our the only two with messed up e-brake levers lol

 

Seems to be =(

look how straight the ebrake is:
no signs of curves or bends just straight up and down



but then looking at this picture it seems curved:

 

hmm...i'll have to look at mine.

GP16-your trim pieces...look...a little rough. just sayin' the rough patch on the boot...just a random idea you could try black shoe polish. or get one of those custom leather boot covers that one of the vendors was selling.

 

Thanks!

Pictures would be good too heheh

Yeah the trim pieces are rough =(
Came with the car (I've only had this car for like a year and a half out of it's 7 years old LMAO).
Might wrap it in 3M vinyl in the future.

Thanks for the tip about the patch.

I don't know if shoe polish would work because there's no leather on the patch (I think the leather worn off - that's why I see what's underneath the leather)
I was thinking maybe using nail polish to hide it haha

 

This does not look wonky

 

appears to be normal. here's mine:



did you really say "wonky"?

 

^hehe

I just thought it was a canadian thing

 

i've never hear wonky used in a sentence until now. must be a canadian thing. or were you referring to the "wonky" e-brake?

 

^I think GuitarPlayer16 is a little :wonky:

BRB, Let me check my ebrake.

 

Easy fellas heheh

Thanks for the pic TLtrigirl!

 

yeah just for you i uncovered the car enough to hop in the back seat and take a pic. and my cover was a little damp from some of the rain showers overnight.
