..is a thread I saw somewhere (that other forum I think) that describes the correct fix of a cleaning and adjustment of the cable "guide" underneath.

It also has the quick fix solution - large rubber band from the parking brake pedal to the underside of the dash.

My 560 has the problem currently; just haven't taken the time to get after it - work under the 560 when its top down weather for the SL?

NOT.

Regards,
Kevin
