Replacement for door handle gaskets?
Hey guys,
As I want to remove my door handles to paint them properly, I would need some new gaskets between handle and door skin. Mine are cracked and dead. No new ones out there as it looks.
Has anyone had any ideas what tomdo instead? Use silicone? Or maybe some dense foam cut to shape? Or what would you use?
Cheers
Damien

I haven't used these, but would like to hear from someone who has. My driver door especially needs this seal replaced as it's quickly crumbling away.

although pricier than the ebay ones, Welsh also carries these - bought a set for my XK8 a few years ago and they work like a champ

X308 Door Handle Gaskets
Welsh Enterprises (800-875-5247) in Steubenville, OH (Dean Martin's Birthplace!). Spoke to Amy X-166
Part # JLM-12031-GSK (Left x 2) @ $39.95 ea.
Part # JLM-12032-GSK (Right x 2) @ $39.95 ea.
These are much different (more robust) than the simple "oval" rings seen on eBay for $18.54 ea. These require door handle removal. I could not imagine "picking pieces" of OEM gasket (degraded and crumbling OEM), so will be having the Welsh gaskets fitted soon after New Year begins. It is a matter of water intrusion past crumbling (UV damage) OEM gaskets.
