I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to say thank you. I fixed my e-brake where the brake wouldn't lock down, that is a harder job, took a couple of hours to put the lever back in place that locks the brake. Then I noticed the brake wouldn't return without using my foot to force it back up. And I think that's what causes the lever to work out of position, forcing it back up. So I watched your video, sprayed the WD40 where you showed and you are right, it took a few more sprays on the main cable underneath. But it's now perfect, thanks.
I can't thank you enough! We stopped using the e-brake on our 2015 GLK250 about 2 years ago because it wouldn't fully release and often the brake light would flicker on the dash even after we had pulled it all the way back with a hand or foot. We took it to the repair shop and they said it could NOT be adjusted and that we could either live with it or replace the whole assembly for about $800. After watching your video I did the lubrication - it didn't work right away - even after about 20-30 presses and releases it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm glad I didn't give up!!! After about the 40th time, it suddenly POPPED back! I couldn't believe it! It works PERFECTLY now! I really appreciate you showing how to fix this common problem!
I wanted to say that this video actually helped my 2014 GLK250. My parking break would get stuck and I would had to pull up with my hand with an extremely huge amount of force. Now after spraying some WD40 the pedal retracts just fine without any difficulties
OMG just bought a 2013 GLK 350 less than a week ago, and this is exactly the problem i have. I even freaked out when a friend of mine parked it engaged the brake and i could not get it to release fully and the light on dash stayed on! Thank you sooo much, i will try this tomorrow and will definitely update here... I subbed.. Thanks again for the video.
Just wanted to come back and drop a comment. Did this on my new to me 2014 glk and after doing it several times it barely had a difference but after letting it sit a few hours it’s now working great! Thanks for the video!
I just want to thank you sooooo freaking much because I literally figured it out on my own by wiggling it with my feet ! And it like clicked back in place and the break went light went off
Thank you for a practical tip. I've replaced the parking brake twice. Perhaps this will save me the high cost of a third replacement. Note that the video is about the "parking brake" as noted by the "P" symbol on the handle and NOT an "emergency brake". This brake holds the vehicle in place when parked instead of relying solely on the transmission and the drivetrain. It has no use in an emergency.
I first used WD-40 with similar results. However, I read that silicone lubricant was better than WD-40 for lubrication for a longer-term fix. I repeated the process of lubrication a few days after using WD-40 on a 2016 E350 with silicone lubricant. Hoping it will last at least one year. Some websites suggest that silicone lubricant can last up to 15 years?! Not sure about that but in the immediate, either of these are OK to get the foot break to move faster. Good video.

pretty satisfying to see you save 700 bucks! I'm sure the dealership would love to fix that for you. great results with wd40!
Emergency brake was stuck today. Watched this video and repeated the same steps. Problem fixed! Thank you!
A quick and genius solution for my GLK 2013 with 258000 km//160000miles. I needed 15 minutes+3,5$. It works pefect. 👍Thanks from Germany Alex

My GLK brake started doing that since yesterday, I'm going to try this on my next day off.
Thanks!
My Ebrake on my 2014 GLK has been bothering me for months. Tried this method and it works perfectly now. Thank you!
You just saved me almost $800. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! It worked immediately.

This procedure worked on my 2014 E class. Thanks for making this helpful video.
thanks babe

I fixed it, thank you so much!
Thanks! This is great information, and I'm hoping that this fix works. Very easy video to follow.
Thank you! Glad I could help :)
Worked on my 2014 GLK350. Thanks!
Your tip worked great, thank you very much!
I WILL CHECK IT TOMORROW
Thank you! I just bought a 2013 and it has this issue. Any reason you wouldn’t use white lithium grease or a dry lube like graphite?
Right on man…. THANKS!!❤️
Thank you for your help ❤

Looks like you cut away the Yrim Panel to gain access to the E Brake
Mine is stuck down hard and won't Release.
