Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / August 2004Emergency Brake Problem
The release button on the emergency brake popped out and the lever will not hold its position. Has anyone ever had this happen to them and know how to fix it? Thanks in advanced... Severian you can either buy a new button for about $3 from Porsche, or you can machine a steel insert with an M5 thread on the inside (I did the latter). > The release button on the emergency brake popped out and the lever > will not hold its position.
