RE: outside air getting in thru the parking-brake handle - gtwe6

["Ian Lomax" <sfalfisto@domain.elided>]

i found the same problem on my werde, but only when the sunroof was open.
same issue i think, low pressure in the car.  i tried insulating the area
around the handle opening with little luck.  i never did come up with a good
solution unfortunately.

ciao,
ian lomax

hi all,

i asked this question a while back, & got no response, but since it's that
time-o-year here, where it's nice to drive w/the windows down, i thought i'd
try again.  i get engine-bay air drawn into the cabin thru the parking
brake, also the metal handle gets way-hot; but these ewents occur only when
the windows are down - i guess the wacuum created pulls air thru the opening
under the car...  anyone else experience this?  any suggestions for a cure?

tanks,

doug s.
