As far as I know they just rest against the door , But there could be a gasket of some type , but my van does not have them> SLIM

Loosen the handle and slip the scratch plate in from the top until the tabs sit on the screws. This way the plate should sit flush against the door - there is no gasket beneath the scratch plate. If the scratch plate has been bent a little over the years you may need to "adjust" it a little so it sits flush with the door.
