I had the car up on ramps the other day and noticed the e-brake pedal couldn't be pressed down. (Don't worry I chocked the wheels extremely well)
The car rolls fine in neutral so I know the e-brake isn't engaged back there so I figure it's the pedal\locking assembly inside.
However I'm not entirely sure the e-brake cable routing heading to the rear is right.
I'm unsure if it's missing a bracket or if it should be bolted to the frame somewhere but it doesn't look right.
Here's a video I just took (sorry it's kind of crappy) showing how it routes and where it rubs.
If we confirm that's the proper route then I'll ignore it and work on the pedal mechanism inside the car but, that rusty rub spot is odd.
*Sorry for the format, apparently any vids uploaded to YouTube under 1-minute is formatted as a "short" and there's no way around that current day.
