Hey guys i recently got the handbrake adjusted and it worked but recently it hasnt been working, the button is hard to push in and then when the handbrake is off the button wont pop out and doesnt work. I gotta use my key or something to pop it back out, i've tryed putting wd40 on it and stuff and it works but not for long Any ideas what it could be? Thanks

There's meant to be a spring in there to hold the button out, is yours still there?

I had the same sort of problem man. I got a new genuine GM handbrake grip and button off ebay, and now it's sweet.
