Do any of you have this problem. At certain RPM's there is a rattle from the button inside the E-brake handle that drives me crazy. I can hold the button and it goes away, but this is getting annoying. I'm ready to take a can of WD-40 to it.

Thanks

Ha ha, welcome to the club. Everyone has their own voodoo fix for it. I took a socket wrench handle or something and pushed the button in really hard and it fixed it. It still comes and goes, but its rare.

cut a chewing gum wrapper in half long ways, then fold the remaining piece in half longways, and wrap it around the little button. push it down inside as far as you can, (to where you cant see it anymore) and your done!...
