I have got 7000 +/- miles on my car and have had to have the dealer adjust the e-brake twice. Now it needs adjusted again. So 2 questions, First anybody else needing frequent adjustments? Second how do you do it yourself?

None performed... 8K miles. Todd, you really must be reefing on it.

Here are the instructions from the manual. Note last instruction - install a "new park Brake Bezel"

All the very Limited Edition V-12 GT's got adjusting e-breaks as well as cup holders.

Todd, years back pops kicked my butt after watching me yank up on the e-break in one of his cars. Ever sense I use a steady slow pull until snug, and I haven't stretch a cable sense.
