WANTED: E-brake handle cover for '05 Mustang GT
While disassembling my center console recently, I unfortunately somehow managed to break my e-brake handle cover. I'm referring to the plastic fairing which attaches top and bottom around the metal handle, passes through the "rubber boot," and protects the metal handle from being exposed. The plastic tabs which lock the top half and bottom half into each other broke off, and so the top half of the plastic handle does not stay in place when I pull the brake handle. I have called two Ford parts departments in my area, and neither of them seem to think that I can replace this part without having to buy an entirely new e-brake handle. That seems outlandish to me since the brake itself works just fine. I've also considered trying to get one of these from a scrapyard, but then I think I might break the tabs on one which was already attached. Can anyone out there please help me...?

Super glue works wonders! The dealership did a number on mine but I didn't realize it till later when there was a rattling. I just used super glue and I have no problems.... Also if you look in the for sale section there is someone that is selling a wickedly sweet leather cover that goes over the whole plastic piece.

Well, I do have a take off GT500 ebrake that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. This weekend I'll look at it and see how the plastic piece is looking. Make sure it's not broken and I can get back with you. I can just reuse my old one with some glue. Plus I've been looking at getting that leather cover I mentioned before so I won't need the plastic to be 100% locked into place.

There appears to be one tab broken, but that shouldn't be a problem. Mine on my car had 4 broken that's why I had to glue it because it kept separating when I pulled up the brake.
