Spent a while on the forum and on Google / Youtube and if I've been reading correctly this could be due to 2 things: 1. Adjustment of the cable via an adjuster somewhere near the front passenger seat underneath the trim 2. New shoes required on the rear wheels. Is this correct? If I need to get it up to 16+% do I need to replace the shoes (might not be able to get the parts before the retest)? Is there anyway to tell if its the shoes or not? The brake pedal does require quite a few clicks to fully engage. Is that relevant? Sorry for the novice questions but this is new to me.
