Exterior door handles

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.

I hate paying $12 shipping for a $6 part!

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!
