There should be an adjustment nut (Plastic) under the handle somewhere.
Mine does more then 5 clicks, but I dont really care, my rear pads are worn down abit. I figure thats why.

Hahaha I pull my handle all the way up and it still rolls. Like it's not applying enough pressure to the caliper. I took it to the dealer and they said one of my cables had come loose and it's ok now. It's not, it's the same.

I don't know what that how to told you......
But you need to jack up the back of the car,
remove the cover on the e-brake to reveal the 10mm nut
on the adjusting rod for the e-brake lever. Adjust the nut tighter
until you can feel drag on the rear wheels by spinning them.
Then back the nut off to the point where you start to feel no drag.
I did this when my car was new and now the e-brake tightens up around
4 click, maybe 5 (not touching armrest) and holds the car perfectly.

that doesnt work, i adjusted the bolt so many times and the car still rolls, the ebrake lifts all the way up.
