Parking brake question

[SoKvlt]

I haven't had the chance to take a proper look at whats wrong yet, however the parking brake release button seems to have gotten "stuck" inside of the handle. The button functions as normal, however significantly harder to press. It's sitting flush with the handle and needs to be pushed into the handle itself a few cm before it releases. I'm not going to be around the car for a little while unfortunately so I'm just trying to prepare for any potential problem I might have to deal with.

This happened to me.  The plastic sleeve may have been pulled up and is obscuring the button. Try puling the plastic sleeve down.

+1 on the sleeve / grip having slid forward. Once you slide it back... you will smile every time you use the hand brake. It makes a huge difference!
