Not for a 2 ton big floor handle. I have searched all over and can't find a suitable one. Anyone who has a partnumber I can search for ? /Ulf

I made a flat aluminium plate that fits as tight as possible around the lever and release rod, and placed it under the carpet so it slides back and forth with the lever. It works well as a seal and doesnt interfere. I cut a slit in the carpet just big enough for the lever and its movement.

That will do the trick.

That way you won't see it and it will have enough travel/flexibility and not tear. Just a thought...
