Annoying Parking Brake
Am I the only one who is annoyed that the parking brake on 2010+ Mustang's does not go down all the way?
It stops short of laying down perfectly flat and level with the center console. It sticks up over the console and pi**es me off.
Does it even happen to anyone else?
Do you guys even notice this?

Wait - these cars have parking brakes... and all this time I thought it was an oh **** handle... 
The parking brake handle in both my 2011 and now 2012, lay flat, but I do notice the gap between the handle and console is wider on my 2012, and since my 2012 is an Auto, the parking brake has yet to be used.
There should be some sort of adjustment somewhere to allow it to go down more, haven't dug for it on these cars, but on the older Fox body cars, there was an adjustment at the parking brake mechanism under the console, and another under the car where the cables met up.
