They are good replacements, my first set is about 2 years old and holding up.

so i have the interior panel of my left rear door off, and as i went through the car wash saw water SPRAYING through the door. its pretty much where the handle is.

am I incorrect in assuming the handle gasket is shot?

I have bought more than 100 sets from that seller. It is Kenneth Woo from Malaysia.
Good quality, reliable seller.

Water spraying thru the door: ther ewill always come water thru the door, from the window as the gaskets are not 100% water proof etc.

That is why there are 2 drain holes at the bottom of the doors that the water can drain again. The holes are on my E32 on the inside on front and rear of the doors.
It is very important that these holes are not blocked by dirt, check that out.

You must have done something wrong. They fit!
And they are all made in the same rubber molding machine or whatever that is called.
I have bought more than 100 sets from this source and sold them here in Japan and most of our E32 club members have them installed.
Zero claim!
Pls explain a bit more in detail what should be wrong.
And make pics please.
If the climate is colder, it helps if you warm them up a bit in hot water to fit snug.
Here pics how to do

I got my set from the same guy on friday. Tried to install them sunday in 28 degree weather and had the same problem. Got one in but the handle bound. I'm going to give it another shot when it is a bit warmer.
Thanks for the advice on the drain holes. I'll have to check them.
