Product Description
Jeep Renegade 2015-2023 Chrome Door Handle Covers with 2 Smart Key Access Points, 8 Pieces (DH55071)
For a Jeep Renegade with keyless entry, DH55071 is the chrome handle kit to look at first. QAA's note reads "Includes 2 smart key access points, Does not include passenger key access." The kit has eight covers of polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported, each mounting with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Two openings, explained
Smart key access points are cutouts that leave a handle's keyless-entry sensor uncovered, so touching the handle still locks or unlocks the SUV with the chrome in place. This kit has two of them. The catalog does not say which handles they belong to, so match them to your handles using the photos. The passenger-side cover has no key cylinder opening.
Renegade fitment
Jeep Renegade, 4-door SUV, model years 2015 through 2023. The Fitment tab shows this single row as recorded.
Picking between the two Renegade kits
The other choice for this SUV is DH55070, also an eight-piece door handle cover kit, noted only as not including passenger key access; check its listing for its finish. If your handles have touch sensors, stay with DH55071. If they do not, DH55070 is the kit without those openings. When in doubt, take a photo of a front handle and call.
Before installing
Lay out all eight covers and pick out the two with smart key openings. Dry-fit those two first and check that each opening frames its sensor completely. With those placed, the remaining six covers are easier to assign door by door.
Install
For the Renegade, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV's surface. Wash and degrease each handle and let it dry completely. Only mount a cover once the dry fit looks right, then press it firmly along every edge for several seconds. Full prep details are on the Installation tab.
Test the sensors
Right after the two smart key covers go on, test keyless entry at both. Fixing a misaligned cover takes seconds now and is much harder after the tape cures overnight.
Material
ABS plastic is rigid and molds to the curve of a handle. QAA chrome-plates and polishes it for a mirror finish while the factory handles keep working underneath.
Also for the Renegade
Cross-listed parts include PP55070 and PP55071, pillar post trim in 4pc and 6pc versions, and MC55071, a 2pc mirror cover set with a turn signal cut out. Mirror covers and handle covers together dress up both of these side details; check the mirror cover listing for its finish.
Placement marks
Frame each dry-fitted cover with short strips of painter's tape. The 3M tape grabs on contact, so the marks let you set each cover in one move. Work clockwise from the driver front so no door gets skipped.
Weather and care
Pick a mild, dry day out of direct sun and keep the Renegade dry overnight. After that, wash the chrome with mild soap and a soft towel, and keep abrasive pads away.

Installation tips: Door Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 8 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
