Product Description
2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 Chrome Door Handle Cover Kit, 8 Pieces of Chrome Plated ABS (DH13181)
If you want your RAV4's door handles fully wrapped in chrome, DH13181 is the kit. QAA lists this eight-piece chrome door handle cover kit for the 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 4-door SUV. The covers go over the existing handles and their surrounds, changing the finish from the factory look to bright chrome.
Fitment
Toyota RAV4, 4-door SUV, model years 2013 through 2018: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as QAA lists it. Both RAV4 handle kits share this fitment.
Cover kit versus accent trim
QAA offers two handle options for this RAV4, and they are built differently. This kit, DH13181, is a cover kit: eight pieces of chrome plated ABS plastic, imported, that fit over the handles. DH13180 is a four-piece accent trim in polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, highlighting the handle area. The catalog states those differences directly. Choose this kit for full chrome coverage; choose DH13180 for a lighter stainless accent.
What chrome plated ABS means
ABS is a rigid plastic widely used for exterior trim, and it can be molded to follow the shape of a door handle closely. The chrome plating gives it a mirror-bright surface. This is a different finish from QAA's polished stainless steel trim, so if you are mixing materials, expect a slightly different shine between the two.
Installing eight covers
The covers attach 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. Handles carry oils from everyday use, so clean each one with a degreaser before you start and let it dry. Line up each cover by hand, check that it sits evenly around the handle, then press it firmly for a few seconds. Work door by door, starting with the one you use most so you can get a feel for the fit, and keep the remaining covers in their packaging until you need them. Full steps are in the Installation tab.
What else fits this RAV4
QAA lists a large group of companion parts for the same 4-door SUV:
- AT13180: four-piece body side molding accent, 1" wide
- GC13180: one-piece gas door cover trim
- PP13180 to PP13183: pillar post kits in four, six, eight, and ten pieces
- Window packages, rocker kits, and more
The catalog does not state how the pillar post kits differ beyond piece count, so compare their photos or call. Everything is linked from the Fitment tab.
The visual payoff
Chrome handles stand out against the paint and are visible from every side of the vehicle. Paired with chrome or stainless window trim, they make the RAV4 look more dressed up. Since the covers go over the existing handles, there is nothing to unbolt or replace, and the whole kit can be done in one session.

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.
