Ok, now I have a new problem...

I was driving home a couple nights ago, and I heard a "POP". I looked down, and the button on my emergency brake came off. The spring is still in tact, but the button broke off from where it screws into the cable.
Does anybody know where I can get just the button from?
Jeep wanted about $300 bucks to replace the whole handle!
Thanks!

You think i can just screw in another button, or have to do the entire handle?

You can just put the button as long as the threads on the rod are good. and these guys are right a junkyard is going to be the best place for that piece.

Why not just glue the whole assembly back together?

A lot of times on forums you will see somebody say X2, it basically means that they agree with whatever was being said. In this case the JY.
