Parking Brake Handle Replaced with Plastic
During the recent recall work, the dealer also replaced the entire parking break handle to repair a broken parking brake handle cover.
It may be my imagination but the new handle is all plastic (nice feel though), but I thought the original was leather. Does the GT come with a plastic or leather parking break handle? Did they order the wrong part?

They ordered the wrong part, if your car has leather interiors, your steeringwheel and parking brake are also leather wraped, they are also required to show you the replaced part if you request it. It is always a good idea to do so

Thanks. There must have been a change in the material they use that makes me feel that it was somehow different. The new one has a nice grip but I didn't remember that the old one was a one piece molded handle (including the handle cover).
