e-brake maintenance

My e-brake on the rear discs of 2001 RT are loose. Basically, I have to pull the e-brake up ALL the way to hold it on a slope. One click less and it rolls. Even all the way up, I am not too confident.

Is it best to simply get into the rear e-brake drum and tighten that up or should I get down into the center console and cinch up the wire?

if i remember correctly, there is adjustment nuts slightly behind the center console. that would be the best place to adjust the parking brake
