Parking Break Fix (PLEASE HELP)
Hi, on my parking braek, the plastic tip disappeared and i have no idea where to buy one unless if i buy the whole parking brake. i really don't want to waste $35 for a whole new parking break. does anyone know what this little plastic thing is called and where i can buy it? Thanks

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Google.
This is a wildazz guess:
If the button was round, it was probably threaded on. Try a chunk of round wooden dowel, drill a hole up the center, see if it will thread on to the little rod in the center of the handle.

Spell BRAKE correctly and retry it.
I got this from a search for " civic handbrake button "
No, it isn't for your car. But it is for a JDM AWD Concerto (looks like an Accord?) the post has a lot of pics to look at http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/show...ebuild-project
In the parts catalog, I had to go back to 95 and earlier to find a button sold separately

No clue at all if it would fit and work.
Try a junkyard.

Another thought: Is the button MISSING, or has the outer handle cover slipped forward and covered it up?
