Hey there,

The dealer is correct in that there are four pieces
between the handle and the securing screw.  It looks
like you have the trim ring, and the pieces you are
missing are the:

 - 211-843-717 - spacer between the handle an inner
lock; keeps the handle away from the door itelf.
 - 211-841-731 - seal for the lock itself - keeps
water from squeezing between the lock and the housing
and getting to your lock
 - 251-843-708 - some type of packing - not familiar
with this one, can't say I ever saw one; the only
thing I can think of, is that on some Vanagons I have
seen a glued on rubber washer that goes on the door

All of these pieces are interchangeable with the late
model Vanagons (with the exception of the trim ring
itself), so it is not the case that late models only
need one part.

Of these, you can probably go without them.  The
packing I would definitely say you don't need.  The
seal for the lock you should have.  And the spacer is
questionable.  Your handle is probably not that close
to your door anyway...
