Default e-brake rubber pad keeps falling off!

Does anyone else have this problem? A few days after I first got the car I saw the pad for the peddle laying on my floor in the car. I didn't think much of it and put it back on. However a couple of days ago I saw it on the floor again. I'll probably bring it up next time I'm getting service.

My wife's fell off the first day we got it and I haven't put it back yet to see if it's going to be an issue. Sounds like it is.

I'm hoping I found the solution to the issue. There's a little tab on the right side of the pad, you need to push that through the hole to make it stick tighter. I didn't do that the first 2 times because I didn't notice it in the dark. However last night I saw that. Hope it does not keep coming off every week now. However maybe it's still a problem, as I wonder why it came off in the first place???

Can't say I've noticed it with mine, but I suspect a squirt of liquid nails would keep it on there. You would then have to destroy it to remove it, but... why would you want to remove it?

Oh, I was starting to think the fix was to obtain a set of pedles from a touring package car

Looks like mine will not stay on. Before I use liquid nails, I'm going to see if this is covered under the warrenty.

Dealer replaced the rubber pad for me about a month ago. New one has not fallen off since. BrokenTSI, if yours does not stay on, you should see if the dealer will put a new one on for you.
