My '88's dash and parking brake seems to be loose; the dash seems okay normally, but when you apply the brake, the dash flexes down and half the time, the brake doesn't wanna catch on the first try.
is your dash broken or loose on the drivers side somewhere make sure everything is tight there at your emergency brake and not wore out and not catching where it is suppose to
well can you see anywhere that the parking brake assembly is loose and it could just be wore out look at it while you apply it to see if anything is badly worn on it
well go to the junkyard and see if you can find one that fits and is in better shape and replace it or carry around a 4by4 block of wood for an emergency brake
