But just to be clear, are you saying it is possible to buy/place just the handle without replacing the entire break?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys, New here -- just bought a used 996. Delighted with it! Working on some cosmetic issues and could use a little guidance. My e-brake works great. But for some reason it looks like the POs dog chewed on handle in lieu of a bone. Rest of the interior is near mint. Just this one issue. Can't see replacing the whole e-brake but it doesn't appear possible to do a simple handle swap-out. As a short-term solution I found a nice leather gaiter but long-term, I'd like to get a clean one in place. Any insights or approaches to this greatly appreciated
