Hmm. It's not totally clear to me from the description what's breaking, but based on what's there, I feel like this maybe isn't the best fix. Like, okay, fine, maybe the lube problem is the proximate cause.

But bigger question: should automobile pedals mechanically be able to be wedged down by the pedal in the first place? Like, can I shove the pedal down with one foot and then pull this pedal cover up with another in such a way that it gets held in the down position?

The cover slips between the dash and the floor wedging the pedal down.
