It should work, that's the auto-adjuster mechanism inside the caliper. I use the handbrake every time I park, so I don't have to pull it any extra times.
You could ALSO have stretched cables, you adjust that with a nut under the console. I can kinda reach mine ('95 4-door) thru the rear-seat ashtray. Don't mess with this adjustment until you know the caliper auto-adjustment is OK.
