My parking brake always struggles to release on a very cold day to the point I have to pull the lever and put my foot under the pedal to ease it up. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Only for those that do not know how to use it or who want to perform handbrake turnsDear God if only there was a way to get rid of the damn thing, it's a HUGE design fault !

What’s complicated about it?I know perfectly well how to use it, lift a leg into the air, find the pedal, press it down hard, to release, use the fingers of your right hand to pull a handle. it's a ridiculous process, I've had left handbrakes, right handbrakes, umbrella handbrakes, electric parking brakes, but nothing as needlessly complex. If I wasn't so attached to my Merc, That alone would be enough to get rid !
You try it with a crook left knee, or having to give a neighbor lessons so he can move the car, you'll never convince me, it IS ridiculous !Precisely as above.
Press with left foot, when ready to drive off release with right hand. Very easy.
You are making a drama out of something that is in fact simple, works and doesn't clutter the centre console with a lever.
So, hardly "ridiculous" in the true meaning of the word is it?
You try a conventional handbrake with a crook left elbow, or having to give a neighbour (who has only driven cars without one) lessons so he can move the car.You try it with a crook left knee, or having to give a neighbor lessons so he can move the car, you'll never convince me, it IS ridiculous !
I wouldn't waste time convincing someone with a closed mind.You try it with a crook left knee, or having to give a neighbor lessons so he can move the car, you'll never convince me, it IS ridiculous !
