Doing this adjustment at the handle was the next logical step. I just needed to do some research on how to access it (removing the cup holder) and having the time to do it.
the cup holder/ centre console area removal is pretty easy. I also suggest bringing a vacuum / moist rag to clean it up incase any debris and dust in there just because I'm OCD like that

Once the drum is adjusted, you can adjust the cable by turning the adjusting nut.
I think I might need to adjust mine a click or two tighter...

regardless of time it sucks when shops get sloppy... other things could be loose and may not know until too late

might as well ask which oil to use while I'm at it.
