Ian Comerford Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It was SWMBO's birthday on Friday so took her away for a surprise weekend at a nice hotel with some friends. We went in the 911 so that we could travel in style of course. Arrived in the hotel car park and as I parked the handbrake button assembly exploded! The button and the spring flew out and the button won’t now stay in the handle. Before I take it all apart to see what is wrong has anyone had this happen before and if so is there a fix? Thank you Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Hart Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yep, it screws in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks Jonny, figured that might be the case after a quick look but wanted to confirm. Do they unscrew through use or do the threads go? At least the PET has a part number for the buttons. Thanks again Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 They just work loose over time, I find myself tightening mine almost subconsciously following a similar explosion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 There are also some blingy metal ones available! I'll stick with OEM black plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
