These instructions will show you how to remove the console. Once that's off, you can adjust the parking brake position. Get the new console first, because you don't want to do this twice. Trust me. Lol. Good luck.

Can you wiggle the lever left to right when the parking brake is on? Looks like your e-brake is not secured properly as it should not be hitting the console.

Today, I took the center console out and checked out what was wrong. It turned out that the "split" or axle that holds the hand brake handle had been pushed out of its socket on one side. That resulted in the brake lever only being attached at one point, which in turn made it move a little towards the side when pulled.

I knocked the split back in - and now its' perfect again.

Thanks for the tips!
