Default hand brake

Is there a way to tighten the Hand Brake? I had it at the dealership today for an oil change and I asked for it to be tightened the service manager told me that it could not be done because there is no way to do it. He also said that it is just the way all neons and srt4s are.

Smart guy lmfao....thats why they're drum in hat, just so they're easily accessible and adjustable.

Make sure if your brakes themselves need adjusting, always adjust those before the E-brake cable.

are you just adjusting so you yank it up so it holds when you do a massive burnout?

if you look behind the rear tires near the back of the caliper there's a star looking adjustment screw there. tighten it until there's resistance on the wheel when you try to turn it, then back it off some.

Isn't it crazy how almost all of our performance advice either comes from LSP or PSI CHICK? Thats freakin awesome. I am going to tighten mine up today, I have to do a 90 degree jolt on my ebrake as well, it feels so loose its not even funny.
