From memory it can be adjusted on the hand brake lever. Where the cable comes through you can tighten the nut (10 mm?) to pull more tension on the cable.

Have you taken the trim off to get to it?

hi,
If you get under the car, you will see the handbrake cable going into a clamp which then goes to both back wheels,
\
O--------------------handbrake cable

abit like that ^ haha
anyways, where the handbrake cable goes into this clamp its held by a nut, just tighten that up a bit. be carefull not to overtighten it though.
Hope this helps
