Product Description
Ford Focus Sedan Chrome Door Handle Cover Kit, 8 Pieces, 2008-2011 (DH48346)
DH48346 is the chrome option for the door handles of the 2008-2011 Ford Focus four-door sedan. This eight-piece door handle cover kit is molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported, and it belongs to a broad Focus trim family in the QAA catalog.
Chrome covers versus stainless accents
QAA also lists DH48345 for the same Focus, an 8pc door handle accent trim set in stainless steel. The catalog records them as different part types: this kit is a molded chrome cover that wraps the handle area, while DH48345 is flat accent trim. If you want a shaped, all-chrome look at each handle, this is the one. Compare the photos of both before ordering.
Fitment
The row reads Ford Focus, 2008-2011, 4-door sedan, four model years. The Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA records it.
Keyholes
Before ordering for the 2008-2011 Focus, look at your front door handles for lock cylinders and compare them with the product photos. If a lock needs to stay reachable, phone 877-752-3811 first and ask whether any cover has a keyhole opening.
Matching Focus parts
Linked parts for the same sedan include a 2pc mirror cover set (MC48346), which pairs naturally with chrome handle covers, plus a 6pc body side molding accent trim (AT48345), a 4pc body molding insert kit (MI48345), and three pillar post sets in 4pc, 6pc, and 8pc versions. Four more are listed by number in the Fitment tab.
Eight pieces
Eight pieces for four doors. The catalog does not label them, so sort them by door using the photos.
Chrome-plated ABS
ABS is a tough molded plastic. Plated in chrome and polished, the covers surround each handle with a bright, shaped finish.
How to install
On the 2008-2011 Focus sedan, all of the covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing handles. Per QAA, it will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the Ford's surface.
- Wash and rinse every handle area.
- Degrease to remove wax and film, then dry.
- Dry-fit each cover door by door, by hand.
- Press firmly along the full outline as each goes on.
Keep the car dry overnight. The Installation tab has the complete steps.
Mirrors and handles together
Chrome handle covers and chrome mirror covers on the same car give the doors a coordinated look from front to back. Doing both in one afternoon is straightforward since both attach with tape.
Alignment tip
Set each cover lightly, step back a few paces, and check it against the door's lines before pressing it home. If the car was waxed recently, give each handle area a second degreaser pass so the tape grips evenly.
Conditions and care
Install on a dry, mild day out of direct sun. Once the tape has set, wash and dry the chrome with a soft towel and avoid abrasive pads.

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.
