[DML] No parking brake

["Payne" <bpayne@xxxx>]

Ever since I've had my car, the parking brake never worked very well. Sure
it would hold, but I really had to yank it hard. When I had the rear brakes
done, I found out why. One of the pads for the parking brake was missing.
I ordered a new set and had them installed, but since then the brake won't
hold at all. The technician said that they are definetely gripping the
rotor and the brake handle feels very firm, but for some reason they just
won't hold the car. I can pull the handle up as hard as I can yet I can
still get out and push the car with one hand.

The technician and I are both puzzled. He said he couldn't adjust the
parking brake anymore or it woudl be dragging on the rotor all the time. Is
there anything I am overlooking?

Thanks for your help! I miss my parking brake, even though I hate that
rubber cover.
