If I remember correctly lift up your arm rest and remove the little cover at the bottom of the cubby.If you look inside you should be able to see a screw in there.I think it is a T-40 if you tighten that it should adjust the E-brake.There isn't any adjustment in the rear of the car.

According to the book you start at the rear.

It goes something like this:

Remove rear wheels, disengage parking brake, turn adjuster screw until wheel locks, back off 5 notches. Do this both sides. <_<

THEN do your thing with the weird supersize Torx.

I would try the easy bit first, and adjust the rear wheels the next time the car is up on a stand minus rear wheels for some other work. ;)
