+rep! Thanks! It only took me about 5 minutes, the only trouble was finding a socket deep enough to spin the nut since the threads stick so far up. This will save me a lot of elbow grease in the future

I just adjusted mine, it took a while using a box end wrench but I got it done. No wonder the handle never felt tight, there was 1/4" of slack when it was all the way down. Now it only has half a thread of slack so it actually holds my car in place.

The real reason the parking brake doesn't work well is because the brake shoes have worn in and the brake adjuster on the rear brake needs adjusting. Tightening the cable is not the correct way to fix the problem and you will eventually run out of adjustment. Check the FSM.
On the rear rotor there is a small rubber plug that gives you access to the parking brake adjuster. It is a star shaped wheel that you can turn using a flat blade screwdriver tip. You adjust the wheel until you feel the brake dragging slightly. Adjust both the left and right sides.

Not hard to fine adjust your p brakes
i breezed through some of the comments.. noticed there was a lot of skepticism
about the ease of adjusting these... My easy solution came when i changed out my rotors for new ones...,. i popped off the old ones and there they were... they look like drum brake pads... theres a dial on both sides to "dial in how close close you want them to get to the rotor hub assembly, or slack adjustment... i had to a make some adjustments, but i got them close enough so they weren't rubbing next, was the hard stop if at a slight roll. I dont mind it since im not e brake drifting my car ( you could just softly bed them in if you wanted to do that )
