I looked around but found nothing in the aftermarket to address this issue. So I went to my "packrat" shelf, dug out an old foam rubber computer pad (I think it was a touchpad wrist support), and hacked it up. I wrapped up the resulting pile of pieces with some kitchen drawer liner material and stuck the whole works together with two-sided tape. It is a press fit into the door pull. Now I have a happy elbow!
I have been thinking exactly the same thing, for about a year, because of my unhappy left elbow! Have not experimented with solutions because I've been too busy with other things, but this has really been an irritation. Now, you are just going to make me work on my own solution. Thanks for bringing this up, and your idea is a good one.
