Default Looking for Vinyl Door Handle Protection Strips

My 2007 RX350 came with the clear vinyl door edge protection strips and the vinyl strips that go under the door handles to prevent fingernail stratches.

I found the 3M door edge strips on AutoGeeks, but have been unable to locate any of the vinyl door handle inset protectors.

Anyone know who carries these?

Thanks!

Good idea, don't know if there are pre-made sizes.
Used 3M in the past as lower rear door protectors to stop winter road dirt/salt from chipping the paint.

something like this

Thanks for your reply and the links.

I don't know if the ones I have are specifically for the RX series or just happen to fit very well. I'll ask the dealership next time I'm in but we all know how expensive thet would be through the dalership.

I've posted a couple of photos. Being that they are clear vinyl, they don't show up very well. The only thing you can see are the edges, which have picked up dirt over the years, and are the reason for wanting to replace.

You know you can simply buff them and all will clean up well. Just some polishing compound and wax and it will do wonders.
