you can adjust it right under the center console. if that doesnt work you gotta jackup the *** and take off your rear wheels and there's a whole(i cant remember if there's a plug or not) and theres a screw in there you have to find(yes that means spin the drum) and tighten it. do this on both sides and make sure theyre even. it helps to have a friend sit/look in the car to make sure its even.

Mine was a little loose about a week ago, open the center console and unscrew the two screws at the bottom, pull the center console up and towards the back seats to unhook the two white clasps that are holding it in place towards the front. Once that console comes up you have full access to the E-brake.

Well, I'm in Canada. and I went to my dealer. "My parking brake is messed, I have to pull it so high, come and I'll show you" so I showed them, and it was damn high. I told them I wanted it covered under warranty. and they did it.
