To prevent damage to the paint and for a neat finish, a black plastic or rubber gasket is located between the tailgate, cargo door and/or sliding door handle.
Many times the handle was not removed during the painting process but was taped over, resulting in the gasket being mostly covered in paint. Don't take this as an example, but remove all parts before repainting the car and replace the seals.
