G8 door handles arent fitting flush

Post by Odyssey »

I recently bought a set of supposedly OEM G8 exterior door handles but I can get the pulls to sit flush to the door. Kind of hard for me to describe but here's a picture. I can't tell what's keeping it held out off the gasket. Anyone have any tips for fixing this?

Do you have an 11-13 or a 14+? They have slightly different handles from my understanding.

I have an 11, I just tried all the door handles and all the pulls stick out just enough to make me think they won't seal against that gasket.
