Try removing the plastic covers of the Parking Brake via the screw on It's side. From there, you'll see an additional screw at the stem of the Parking Brake Handle. Try backing It off and see what happens. This Is the adjustment screw.

For accurate results you may want to jack up the rear, with wheels on, and rotate the wheels for precise adjusting.

Check the adjustment as stated above, but I've also seen the pads freeze to the rotors if sitting for an extended period of time. Might want to look at that also.
