Parking brake slight roll before stopping
 
Is it normal for the parking brake to allow the car to roll an inch or so before stopping the car? I had the dealer tighten the cable for me since the parking brake didn't stop the car at all when I got it, but the little inch roll then immediately stop is kind of weird. Maybe the pads aren't sitting correctly? Anyone have any ideas?

Very normal, I haven't had a car that didn't do that.

My previous cars and my wife's never had done it, so not so normal to me :/

That's another reason to put your car in gear in addition to the PB.

I do put it in gear. But generally I leave the clutch in, release the brake, and then the clutch. It's a very small distance that it travels, but I've never had a car do it

Mine moves a little as well. I let the car fall on the parking brake then put it in gear.

After applying the e-brake the car should not move.
