Does anyone have a source for exterior door handle seals?

I have bought 2 or 3 sets of the plastic ones from several different parts houses and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. They just do not fit the original door handles.

Is there a parts house that sells rubber seals?

I bought a set from West Coast Metric several years ago, and haven't had any issues with them so far -- they all fit well, are made of rubber (or something pliable like that), and haven't cracked or split.

I had bought a set from Wolfsburg West even earlier, and they were made out of a harder, more "plastic-like" material. A couple of them split a year or so after being installed, and that's when I got rid of those and went with the WCM ones mentioned above.

You could buy something else that you will need down the road at the same time and it will feel like you are getting free shipping!
