How to Adjust the Handbrake on a Seat Leon?

Model: Seat Leon 1P - Years 2005-2013
Part: Parking brake

You can adjust the handbrake on the Seat Leon by using a tool to pry off the trim panel located at the rear of the centre tunnel. Once this panel is removed, you will be able to locate the underlying bolt that allows for handbrake adjustment. Tightening this bolt will make the handbrake heavier and reduce its travel; conversely, loosening this bolt will increase the travel and make the lever lighter.
