Default Thin rubber seal around door handle..

Any ideas how to get that to go in and stay in? Mine is starting to come out and stretch. Anyone else fix this issue?

Same here...I've wondered the same. My issue is with the driver door handle.

I wouldn't let that go unattended too long, lest rain get in.

I had problem with my driver window not opening a crack on closing the door, as it should to let the air out and equalize pressure.

The handle is somehow connected electro mechanically to the window operation.

Had to replace the handle.

Mine is driver side too. maybe 20% of it keeps coming out when it gets pulled by the wind from driving. At the front of the oval. The rest is secure and will no come out.

In my case, I'm missing part of the seal around the door handle. Does this mean I need a new handle?

I wish I knew, but is it possible that the door handle has been over-tighten causing the factory gasket seal to squeeze out or not want to stay in place? Or the door handle and gasket when installed were out of allighment? JB

Mine is located on the top side of the handle, just off center.

I had the same issue and replaced the gasket a few years ago. It's a cheap part but there is some labor involved. The handle has to come out
