Hi I'm not 100% this belongs here but I had my rx8 in the shop for an ecu replacement at the mazda dealership. they broke the plastic piece of the ebrake that covers the metal crap. Anyways theyre saying that they dont know if they did it but even if they did its not their fault since they dont know if the part was a;ready cracked or loose.

So i guess im fucked and will have to buy a new handbrake cover. Ive been looking for them all over the internet but i cannot find it. and im not going to be buying it from the dealership after what they did.

 

yeah I have the same issue, seems as if the whole E brake needs to be replaced.

 

Same thing here...I just havent worried about it... Onlinemazdaparts.com will probably have the best price... I have ordered several things from them and they are great.

 

wow the whole ebrake needs to be replaced? i was thinking maybe just the plastic part could be replaced. cant believe the dealership wont just own up to.

 

unfortunately that's how it is. youll never get them to pay for it. mines broke too but i just ignore it. it really isnt something that stands out to me

 

There was a TSB out for this... if you're still under warranty, you should be able to get it replaced. I had this done twice.
