**I know you can't reply but this is worth a read if you intend changing your door handle seals.**
The 'whateveritis' that locks the door handle trim to the door has a range of movement. All the threads that I've read about changing the seals state that it moves about 1/2 inch. This is true but it actually moves further. My caution relates to locking the trim back into place once the seal has been changed. Quite simply you can pull the 'whateveritis' back towards you and the trim will lock into place BUT if you don't lock it back all the way your door handle will foul on the trim and result in a sticking door handle and loss of paint! I learn't this the hard way so hopefully you can benefit from my misfortune. For what it's worth the job of changing seals is simple and the result is priceless!!!
