    Default Aftermarket E-Brake

    I was wondering if anyone here had ever put on an aftermarket E-brake before?

    I was planning to buy this but I'm not sure if this will fit a automatick contour. Anyone think it will fit?

    does your car have the fuzy brush boot or pleather boot to conseal under the c/c. if it's the ladder then slide the pleatherr down the shaft and remove the screw, the e-brake has a real fun shape to it and is pretty propriatary. you'd have to get one shape like it to fit. I don't know what the other style looks like when taken off so somebody else would have to tell you.

    I just looked at the OEM service manual online for a 98 and from what I can tell, the part of the handle we grab isn't really removable. At least there are no instructions for or references to removing it. You may have to see if the ones you're thinking about slide over the existing handle or what. I *think* that how the one Chris@CTA has works, but I'm not sure.

    yeah i saw it too looks really nice. I think it is possible to do it because I couldn't remove my Automatic shift knob and in the end i have to pull it super hard.

    The plastic part of the handle is riveted onto the metal.
