wobbly parking brake handle

I noticed the parking brake handle on my '08 Evo wobbles left and right about a quarter inch freely when in the released position. It is tight laterally when engaged. Anyone else's?

You've made at least 3 "The X is horrible waste of money"-type comments in less than 24 hours. You don't like it, we get it.

As for the parking brake, there's just a little screw that holds it onto the handle that needs tightened up. The dealership should be able to get in there and fix it in less than 5 minutes, or you could probably tackle it yourself if you have the right tools. If I knew what they were, I'd tell you, but mine doesn't have the Interior Sport package.

I got the sport interior package on my evo and they forgot to put the different handle on my E-brake.. no biggie I mentioned it to the dealership before I left they ordered me one and mailed it to my house the normal handle is glued on.. but the other handle which comes in the sport package is held on by two allen head set screws one on the bottom and one under the Lancer Evolution plate that is held on with two more allen head screws. Make sure both of them are tight because I installed mine myself and it doesn't move at all!! Hope this helps
