Product Description
Honda Clarity, Pilot and Ridgeline Chrome Door Handle Covers with 2 Smart Key Access Points, 8 Pieces (DH16261)
Smart key handles need covers that leave the sensors reachable. DH16261 is QAA's eight-piece chrome plated ABS door handle cover kit made for that situation: the catalog note says it comes with two smart key access points and no passenger key access. QAA lists it for three Hondas, the Clarity, the Pilot, and the Ridgeline.
The access layout
"W/ 2 smart key access points, NO passenger key access." Two of the covers are shaped so the smart key touch points stay usable, and there is no opening for a passenger side keyhole. If your handles have smart key sensors, this is the layout built for them. If your passenger handle has a key cylinder you rely on, this is the wrong kit for you.
Vehicles in the listing
QAA catalogs four rows:
- Honda Clarity, 2017-2020
- Honda Pilot, 2016-2022
- Honda Ridgeline, 2017-2026
- Honda Pilot, 2016-2020, as a separate row
The body style tags on these rows are combined and inconsistent, mixing 4-door, SUV, pickup truck, and sedan, so match by model and year. All of these are four-door vehicles in the data. The Fitment tab lists each row exactly as QAA has it; call us if you want a second opinion on your vehicle.
What the covers are made of
Molded ABS plastic, chrome plated with a polished finish, imported. A molded cover wraps around the handle rather than sitting flat against the door, so the whole handle reads as chrome. Expect a slightly different shine than QAA's stainless steel accent pieces.
Fitting the covers
The kit attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Start by cleaning each handle with a degreaser, since hands leave oils on them. Let them dry. Sort the pieces by door using the product photos, paying attention to the two smart key pieces so they go on the handles with sensors. Test the fit without pressing, then press each cover on for several seconds. More in the Installation tab.
Counting the pieces
Eight covers for four doors: each handle and its surrounding area gets covered. QAA's data doesn't spell out each piece's job, so sorting against the photos first is worth the minute.
Who this kit suits
It suits owners of a Clarity, a Pilot, or a Ridgeline with smart key handles who want a bright chrome accent without swapping hardware. The covers go over what is already there, and the sensors stay usable. It is also a simple way to give two or three Hondas in one household the same finish, since one part number covers all three models.
No companion parts listed
The Fitment tab shows DH16261 by itself, since no companion QAA parts are linked to this SKU. Call to ask what else QAA offers for your Honda.

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.
