W201 E-brake doesn't go up high and doesn't hold car well
The e-brake handle doesn't go up very high. I have replaced the brake shoes. I adjusted the e-brake by the adjusters at the rotors. It holds the car OK, but if you put it in drive and barely touch the gas it moves forward a bit. The state inspectors don't like this.
Is the handle not supposed to go very high on these cars? I've never messed with the cable adjuster more towards the front of the car, but it's possible somebody did before me.
