Default Loose Parking Brake... How to adjust ?

My e-brake is very loose now. Its not the same as when I bought the car 5 years ago.

Is there a way to adjust it ?

I tested it the other day, I pulled it up as much as possible while my car was in Drive and the car was moving very very slow, and eventually stopped but I dont think that should be normal. In my other cars, you set it half way and grabs the car completely.


Thanks for any info

Learned a lot looking for parts! Its a very odd mechanism and probably my least favorite of any brake system - ever.
