Has anyone done anything about the extremely cheap sound that our e-brake lever makes when pulling the lever? I have driven sub-$20K rental cars that have levers that sound better.

^that's laughable as well. C'mon, VAG uses parts cross-platform wherever they can. Our door strikes are pretty much off the shelf parts from mk4's.

If it was from KIA it would likely be quiet because they look at stuff like that. Ze Germans laugh at silly noise, brake works... no fix.
