Hi all, first time posting here in this forum. First off i searched the forum and found plenty of threads on the handbrake but not quite meeting what i was looking to solve. I pulled the handbrake up today when parking and much to my surprise the button flew off the handbrake, bounced off the console and hit the back seat, the spring also came out. I can still use the handbrake normally by pushing on the metal rod inside where the button normally covers (although the rod rattles slightly and the clicks you get when normally pressing the button and pulling the handbrake up are much quieter and less prominent, what i mean by this is that you don't feel the clicks as much as you normally do) but the trouble is i can not seem to get the button and spring back on. If i try put the button and spring on and push hard on it stays on but just turns into a drifting handbrake as it wont click and stay in place. If i wriggle it a bit more it is like normal but as soon as you pull up to engage the handbrake it flies off again and the spring comes out. I do not have a clue what to do so if anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
