Rattling hand brake ideas on how to fix easily
I don't know if anyone else has this problem I did a search and didn't find much. My hand brake button and spring rattles like crazy at idle & any speed and it is unusually loud I can hear it clearly over my Magnaflows! It drives me nuts . All I have to do is lightly put my finger on it and it goes away.
I tried a nice looking replacement from the junkyard and it does the exact same thing!
Did anyone else have this problem and what they do to fix it. I thought of some ways but none of them are easy to do. I'm looking for something simple besides driving around with my right and laying on the parking brake lever.

put the soft part of velcro on the inside of the parking break handle by in the button area

Normal velcro glue breaks down on hot sunny days.
I found some industrial velcro a couple of days ago that can take that high temperature. I had to shave down the fuzz a bit but this solution worked.
Thank you.
