The bottoms of both rear doors rotted away. Had set of replacement doors that I picked up years ago - except they were green. Once I got them painted black and and hung I noticed the door handle gaskets are dry rotted. Sure would be nice to find some replacements... any ideas where to locate some?

Oh, the replacement doors were manual windows. No more regulator problems in the back.

Believe that you have a Mk3 Jetta , going by car listed in your user info.
Abacus is describing and linking Passat pieces.

Here are the part numbers taken directly from the actual pieces.
No longer available from VW, but I found them available on a Google search of the part number for about $3 each from either IDparts or 1stVW ... or somewhere. Google will get you some prospects.
I still haven't ordered any yet.

Door Handle Gasket (small) 1HO 837 209
Door Handle Gasket (large) 1HO 837 211

If I am remembering clearly, you will either have to dismantle the roll pin in the handle to get the new large (rearward) gaskets on - or - cut a slice in the gasket to spread it open around the mechanism.

Thanks for the info guys. Never thought to check IDparts even though I buy most of my driveline supplies and parts from them.

Good to know.
