Door handle gasket
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am considering looking into manufacturing door handle gaskets for our cars (since they seem to disintegrate and the lowest price I can find is $94/pair) and have a couple questions:
1. What material are they made from?
2. Is there a demand?
3. What is a good pricepoint? (I am going to work backwards from here to see if it is cost-effective)
4. Is there in anyone's opinion a better, longer lasting material I should use?
5. Has anyone else already done this at a reasonable price that I missed?
I am looking into this because I need a solution and I figure others do as well, I do not work in the industry but am local to some companies who may be willing to do small runs like this.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Dave it's a molded plastic.
My guess there will be a demand, they're getting on for 13 years old for the initial cars.
A pricepoint, well half Jaguar's price is fair, I think the people that cost parts decide on a fair price then double it to make you feel like you're paying for added quality/peace of mind, which *isn't* fair!
My suggestion would be quality rubber backed chrome plated metal, but that would be expensive
I haven't heard of any aftermarket gaskets.
