E-Brake Handle Cover Replacement

Anyone know where to find replacements for the e-brake handle cover now-a-days? The ends on mine finally fell off and I'd like something to replace it so there isn't a open hole in the console.
I've checked on Ebay and Amazon but didn't see much, just some full e-brake handles with the same cover already broken. I also checked with my local Mazda dealer, but Mazda apparently only sells the entire handle and not the cover by its self. It is also backordered atm.

Assuming S1 and S2 are the same, and by "cover" you mean the flexible part at the base of the handle that makes it so you can't see down into the center console, it's integral to the handle. Molded into the the rubber. Not sure what the Canadian dealers have kicking around, but there aren't any in the US with no timeline on more coming in from Japan. Likely rapidly approaching NLA status.

I think we're talking about the same thing? But it is not integral to the handle. It slides off.

This is what I was hoping to find a replacement for:

I guess they're different S1 to S2. That's a weird one. Next time I get out to the shop, I'll pull it out of the parts drawer and take a photo.

You can buy nice stitched leather aftermarket versions if you're into that. Don't remember who sold them but you can get a version that is the entire handle and not just a leather cover for the handle.

I had seen a couple posts around here with them, but they're all pretty old now at this point. I didn't really see any available to me when I was searching around tho.
That seems to be the issue with these cars now is that no one really makes anything for them anymore. The pandemic likely exacerbated the situation. Big sad.
