It also acts as a fluid warning light so check your brake fluid levels. If these are low you probably are gonna need new pads soon.
ergo, its actually a cheap way of showing you yoour pads are wearing down

also could be the negative pressure inside the well pulling the inside bit of the lid down- if it is - fill up the fluid to the right level and push the rubbery bit back up into the lid bit
(sorry - technical terms are NOT my strong point!!!)
