96 sl1 parking brake button broken

sansonic · 11-23-2011, 10:34 AM

I was leaving and waiting on my dad to jump into my car and i pulled the parking brake lever up and the button just popped off. It wont click into place unless i use something to push the metal thing into place. I also seem to have lost the spring for it.

So my question is where can i get a new button and spring and how do i get the lever so that it will click on its own?

Thanks for all the help. I went to ace hardware and found a spring and it fit right in and fixed it.
