jabstick420 is on a distinguished road
parking brake tight but...

just adjusted my hand brake following the DIY on PP and various other posts.

Finally got it tight. Max height is now 5-6 clicks. Before it would go beyond 10 clicks and still not grab.

Now it can stop the vehicle from rolling whereas before adjustment it wouldn't do anything

BUT,

if I'm in gear, D or R, with e-brake up the car will move.

Initially it would grab right after adjustment, but second time trying, it will move while in gear.

Should I be:

1)adjusting more at cable end
2)adjusting more at wheel
3)leave it alone its fine

Thanks for reading.
