Default Does your knob rattle?

My handbrake lever rattles, it is the only rattle in the car, the button is loose on the end.

Does anyone else have the same?

I am considering replacing it.

I'm so glad i'm not the only one with a rattly knob

yes mine does it. More of a continuous buzz than anything, but very frustrating.

I have to give it a really good yank these days. Sometimes its sticking right up in the air before I can bail out. I might strip the cover off and tighten my nut this weekend.

Mine does rattle occasionally.
Just don't forget to do a How-To on this Rich if you are changing it please. I have a spare handbrake lever from an early car that seems to have a smoother/tighter operation than my own and would like to change it over at some point.
