Title: Chinese door handles for Mk2 (yes again but please read on)
Post by: j_s on 27 August 2005, 00:09

I got some of these ages ago and only fitted 1 so far :grin:
This was due to the rubber gaskets not quite being tight against the door at the top of the handle but fine on the bottom. Is this what people mean by poor fitment or do I have a different issue. The handle is very tight on and not moving in any way so is fine from that point, it's just the issue of rain getting in behind the gasket from the top causing me more concern than anything else.

I really think it looks nice on the car, so please don't comment about them not being suited to the car  :tongue:

A last resort was to buy a slightly thicker rubber sheet and cut some new gaskets but this could prove difficult in getting the shape nice and neat  :sad:

I did find this a problem when fitting mine but found if you keep the gasket stretched out by means of a screwdriver or similar you can get it to sit right, just takes a few goes at it!!

I totally agree I was unsure when I first fitted them but now they're on I think they look great!!
