   yea i brought two handles so far and neither fitted, and in the modding guide thay brought a gaiter with velcro on the end so it stuck to the carpet, all the ones i found are elasticated

   the best handbrake covers to get are the 1s from halfrauds believe it or not they actually fit with the use of bigger screws and their pretty cheap aswel. Just get any handbrake gater non elesticated and get a strip of velcro and stick the bit with the teeth on the underside of the gator and it sticks to the carpet job done! Mine cost £4 all in!
