E-brake Problem

My rx7 came with a handbrake problem, it doesn't hold. I tried tighten the ebrake screw but it doesn't make a difference, my car still rolls back. Any ideas?

Broken cable? It often breaks at the end where it splits into two since the steel cable does not have a protective coating at that point and rusts through.

Thanks for the response. I'll check it later today. If they are broken, where do you suggest I purchase new cables?

Mazda, Mazdatrix, etc. Any dealer can order one for about $20.
