R60 Parking Brake Adjustment

Parking Brake Adjustment
I've searched all over NAM and the internet and can't find anything... Is the parking brake adjustable on the Countryman and how is it done? I hardly ever use it but when I did this weekend it came all the way up butting up against the armrest, I could have sworn it was lower the last time I used it.

I am sure that you have sorted this by now but I came across this yesterday as my parking brake handle was pulling up into the center armrest as well. I found a video showing a tare-down of the center bar and I noticed that there is a nut for the adjustment facing the center rear seat. I was prepared to rip the whole thing apart to get to it but to my delight all I needed to do was pop off the cup holder trim (in the back) and that exposed a access hole to adjust the cable tensioner. You will need a 10mm deep socket with an extension to reach the nut.
My mini is a 2014 Countryman S with the 3 seater bench in the back.
I used a small flat head to lift the trim here and the whole trim piece including the lighter pop right up. A plastic trim tool would be a safer choice.
This is a picture of the hole which allows access to the adjustment nut. It is a 10mm nut.
