Product Description
Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner Chrome Door Handle Covers, 8 Pieces, 2008-2012 (DH48320)
DH48320 is an eight-piece chrome door handle cover kit for two four-door SUVs: the 2008-2012 Ford Escape and the 2008-2010 Mercury Mariner. The covers are molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported.
Two rows
Ford Escape, 2008 through 2012, five model years, 4-door SUV. Mercury Mariner, 2008 through 2010, three model years, 4-door SUV. Both start the same year, but the Mariner row ends two years sooner, so check your vehicle's own row. The Fitment tab shows both exactly as QAA records them.
What the catalog leaves open
There is no key access note on this kit. That means the data does not say whether any cover has a keyhole opening or which door it would be on. Before ordering:
- Check the driver and passenger front handles for lock cylinders.
- Compare what you find with the product photos.
- If a lock needs to stay reachable and you are unsure, call us.
Eight chrome pieces
The kit covers four doors with eight pieces. They are not labeled in the catalog, so lay them out by door against the photos before you begin.
The material
ABS is a tough molded plastic. The Escape covers are chrome plated and polished, and their molded shape surrounds each handle area in bright chrome rather than a flat strip.
Step-by-step install
QAA mounts the covers with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Wash each handle area with soap and water. Follow with a degreaser to remove wax and road film, and let the surface dry fully. At each Escape door, hold the cover in place, check the fit from a step back, then press firmly for several seconds so the 3M tape takes hold across the whole cover. Work around the vehicle one door at a time. The Installation tab has the complete process.
Escape or Mariner
Because QAA lists the same kit for both, a household with one of each in the listed years can order the same part number. Mind the Mariner's shorter range.
A practical upgrade
Door handles are a high-use spot on any SUV, and the finish around them tends to show wear first. Chrome covers freshen that area, and the Installation tab walks through the steps.
Conditions for a strong bond
Choose a dry, mild day and work out of direct sun. On recently waxed paint, degrease a second time, since wax is the commonest reason tape won't seat evenly. Press each cover along its full outline and let the vehicle sit overnight before it sees rain.
Care
After the tape sets, wash the Escape's or Mariner's chrome and dry it with a soft towel; abrasive pads will scratch the plating.

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.
