An arrangement for mounting a gasket to a vehicle door handle housing is provided whereby the gasket and the housing can be easily and rapidly assembled together without requiring the use of a separate fastening operation. The handle housing is provided with grooves, and the gasket is provided with rib members. The rib members are adapted so as to be press fitted into the grooves so as to securely mount the gasket to the housing.
