Posts: 26 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Handbrake plastic Hello In my 2008 Bravo plastic around the handbrake is fully broken and I have a hole. Want to know if someone has a pdf with instructions how to dismantle the central part around the handbrake to get to this plastic so I can repair it. Thnx ....

Posts: 2,059 Thanks: 142 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Handbrake plastic Mine is also broken, been thinking of replacing it with something like.. a piece of black leather glued to a piece of soft plastic (like a PET bottle). Cut the laminated piece to the form of the original plastic.. and stick it in. It would be flexible enough not to brake and hopefully rigid enough to stay in place. What do you think?

Posts: 26 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Handbrake plastic Small update as far as replacing broken plastic. I managed to remove the plastic from the back of the center console (see the picture) so I have easier access to remove the broken plastic and I managed to find a small piece that broke off. Of a thin flexible plastic and thick paper and using old plastic I made a new piece that I'm on both sides sticked with carbon wrap that looks attractive. All that remains is mounting in the car and if I do it successfully will post pics to see how it looks.
