I've seen a few DIY threads on changing out the cracked/perished door handle trims and started looking for vendors...

Of the places I've hit, they only list the front L & R parts (with the keyhole) not the rears. A search of this forum pulls up the same few DIY threads, but no clues as to which parts seller to go to for a set of 4.

I'd prefer to get all from one place, as there's a better chance of the part manufacturer being the same, etc. If anyone's bought a set of 4, can you share the link?

Any leads appreciated. I agree with folks that have done this; it makes the car look sharp.

Thanks!

Pat,


A guy on Ebay sells the gaskets for @ $25

I have done a bunch of sets, it's easy.

Mahalos!

Didn't consider ebay as some stuff one finds there isn't up to spec.

I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks Bob!
