View Full Version : Interior: How to replace e-brake handle?

My ebrake handle has a couple marks on the leather (not the boot, but the handle itself).

This doesn't at first glance appear to be an easy part to replace. Has anyone done it? Does the entire lever need to be replaced? Or is there a way to get the handle off and just replace the leather handle?

Thanks

If it were me, I'd take the car by a few upholstery shops.
It may be possible to have the leather replaced without taking the lever off.

I'd considered that. I've seen leather repair kits and it's probably repairable.

But in regards to the lever itself, is it just the one big cotter pin that slides out and the lever is then removable or does the entire ebrake need to be unbolted and disconnected from the cables to replace the entire assembly?
