What This Product Does:
- Acts as a cushion / buffer / pad between the outer door handle and the door body or internal support. The pad helps absorb minor contact stress, reduce wear, and provide a snug fit.
- Helps reduce noise, vibration, and chatter when the handle is operated or the door vibrates (e.g. while driving).
- Provides a clean interface — covering the contact area, giving better fit and finish around the handle.
- Prevents metal / plastic parts rubbing directly, which can lead to wear, paint damage, or deterioration.
Symptoms / Signs Of A Failing Buffer / Pad:
- The door handle feels loose or “soft” — not tight against the door when operating.
- Noise when opening/closing – rattles, chatter, or slight “clunk” at the outer handle area.
- The buffer / pad is cracked, missing, worn, or deformed.
- Visible gaps or misalignment around the base of the handle.
- Wear marks, paint damage, or abrasion on the door skin where pad used to be.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores the proper snug fit of the exterior handle, improving tactile feel and door operation.
- Reduces rattles, vibration, and noise from the handle area under movement or stress.
- Protects the door panel and finish by preventing rubbing or contact damage.
- Maintains original appearance: a missing or damaged buffer looks incomplete and may degrade over time.
