Flickering handbrake light

But it isn't.

There's a tiny self-tapping cross-head screw that is directly under the handbrake handle. It will be a swine to get out even with the trim all removed.

I did manage to extract the "plunger" part of the switch though, this had jammed in the highest position so was stopping the handbrake handle going all the way down.

As for the wood-effect trim, trying to fix it using the pinch bolt as intended just resulted in the little bracket breaking off. I guess that's why the duct tape was there to provide some sort of padding and/or flexibility.
So, I'll revert to the double-sided adhesive tape/pads as recommended above.
I think I've finally given up and will live without a handbrake warning light...........
