Product Description
Chrome Door Handle Cover Kit, 8 Pieces, No Passenger Key Access, for Escalade, Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban and Yukon (DH40198)
Five vehicles across three brands share DH40198, an eight-piece chrome door handle cover kit. QAA lists it for the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Yukon from 1999 to 2006, and for the Chevrolet Avalanche from 2002 to 2006, all as four-door vehicles. The note reads "Does not include passenger key access," so the passenger-side cover is solid. The covers are imported, polished chrome-plated ABS plastic.
Fitment by vehicle
- Cadillac Escalade, 1999-2006
- Chevrolet Avalanche, 2002-2006
- Chevrolet Silverado, 1999-2006
- Chevrolet Suburban, 1999-2006
- GMC Yukon, 1999-2006
The Avalanche row is shorter than the others, five model years instead of eight, so check that row specifically if that is your vehicle. Every row is tagged 4-door, with SUV and pickup truck listed together in the body field. The Fitment tab shows each row as cataloged.
No lock on the passenger door?
That is the setup this kit is cut for. The passenger cover has no opening, so it is meant for vehicles where only the driver door has a key cylinder. Check your passenger front door before ordering. If there is a lock there, a solid cover would hide it, so call us first.
The eight pieces
Two pieces per door, four doors. The catalog does not describe each piece, so match them to the product photos and group them by door before you begin.
Molded chrome
The covers are ABS plastic with polished chrome plating. Their molded shape gives each handle a full chrome surface, a look that fits in on any of these vehicles if it already wears chrome on the grille or mirrors.
Putting them on
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. Prep is the key step: wash, degrease, and dry each handle area. Dry-fit every piece and check the fit at each door, then press each one firmly for several seconds so the tape bonds. Keep the vehicle dry for a while after. More detail is in the Installation tab.
One kit across brands
Few trim kits span a Cadillac, a GMC, and three Chevrolets. If you manage several of these vehicles, one part number may cover them all, provided each has the driver-only lock layout and falls inside its listed years.
Height and comfort
These are tall vehicles, so a step stool helps you see each handle straight on while you set the covers.
A short checklist
- Is the vehicle one of the five models listed, with four doors?
- Is the model year inside its row, keeping in mind the Avalanche starts later?
- Is the passenger front door free of a key cylinder?
Three yes answers mean this kit lines up. Any no is a reason to call before ordering.

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.
