hand brake
I Am A New Member. I Own A 2000 C5 Convertable. I Have A Bad Habit Of Pushing The Hand Brake Button When At A Stop. Now The Hand Brake Works Fine When I Hold The Lever Up, But When I Leave Go Of The Leaver It Drops Down. It Does Not Racket. Did Ibreak Something If So How Do I Fix It?

Simple possible solution first...
From all the button-pushing at stoplights, you might have just managed to get the button stuck a little farther back in the handle than it should be. Try giving the handle a good tap while pulling on the button to see if it willl come out any further. If it's stuck and partially depressed, the handle won't latch.

I had a similar problem on my 98 vert, I had to take the passenger seat out and lubricate everything to get it right again. It wasn't as hard as it sounds, the whole job only took about 2.5 hours, including goofing off and playing curious george under the seat...(oooohhh, what's this do?)
