Hand brake button missing

The little button on the handbrake seems to have disappeared. To use the hand brake I have to squeeze my finger into the hole where the button was to release or raise it.
Anyone else had this problem?
At first it felt the button was there, but had somehow sunk inwards, inside the hand brake, but guess this couldn't really happen..................

Right, how embarrassing if it turns out to be that!

But a saving, so it's all good.
It's put away under a cover at the moment, so will look tomorrow.

Haha! Yeah, it worked. How that moved so far I have no idea, as it certainly isn't loose and it took a lot of persuasion to move it back down and expose the button, but it's done now anyway!
Thanks fellas!
