Default Handbrake button rattle

Anyone got any tips on how to stop the little aluminium button on the handbrake from rattling.

The button comes off easily, see https://www.macarbon.com/install_gui...stallation.pdf

So it should be possible to add some glue or similair that will prevent it from rattling.

+1 on this being a super simple DIY. I installed the MACarbon handbrake lever and button, and the whole thing took less than 10 minutes (less than 30 sec to pull off the button!). Try popping it off and wrapping the end of the handbrake lever where the button pushes on with something then like teflon tape for a just a little something extra for the button to grip.

The button is plastic not aluminum, and there is a gap between it and where the leather wraps into the opening. Even if it contacted the leather it ought not make a rattling sound. If it rattles the button might be loose on the tip of the brake release lever that runs through the handle. A small dab of RTV silicone adhesive should secure the button yet leave it possible remove without damaging it. If that doesn't cure the rattle then it's the lever itself rattling inside the handle. A bit of foam rubber stuffed down the opening might stop that from happening.
