How far does everyone's E-BRAKE go up?

I think mine may be stripped or something, it goes up pretty high, and it's not doing a good job at all.. The other day when I was parked, my car slid about 2 feet down a small driveway incline. How do I go about replacing this? I'm assuming its a whole different process than just replacing the brakes?? Please help thanks.

Mine goes all the way up some times, I have been thinking the past week about tightening it but am unsure how. Any one know how?

Thanks -Bill

Mine goes up about 6-8 clicks on both my preludes. You can tighten it by removing the console, and using the adjuster nut on the back side of the handle where the cables mount. Adjust it to where you can get it tight in about 6-8 clicks.

Thanks all, so I should be able to take off the console and tighten it from there?
Great I'll try that soon in the near future.

Yeah....mine goes ALL the way up.....some people make fun of my car cuz of that......but I don't really care because my baby will spank the isht out of any of theirs......and looks so much better doing it too.

I'm definitely gonna try the brake thing though........having a remote start-on-a-stick.......I have to rely on the e-brake to keep my car from rolling down the street.....again!
