Product Description
Toyota Tundra Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover with Camera Access, 2 Pieces, 2007-2013 (DH27149)
If your 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra has a rear camera at the tailgate handle, DH27149 is the chrome kit to look at. QAA's note on this two-piece chrome plated ABS tailgate handle cover says it "Includes camera access," meaning the cover leaves room for the camera rather than blocking it.
Camera access, and why it matters
A cover that sits over a tailgate camera would block the view. QAA states this kit includes camera access, so the camera keeps working once the chrome is on. Line up the opening with the lens during install, and check the camera view on your screen afterward.
Compared with DH27148
For the same Tundra, QAA also lists DH27148, another two-piece tailgate handle cover. Its catalog note does not mention camera access. If camera access matters to you, this kit is the one with it noted. If you are unsure which suits your tailgate, compare the photos of both or call us.
Fitment
Toyota Tundra, 2007-2013, listed for 2-door, 4-door, and pickup truck body styles. Seven model years: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The listing covers both door counts with one part number, so your cab does not change which kit to order. See the Fitment tab.
Material
Chrome plated ABS plastic with a polished finish, imported. QAA files this item under tailgate handle accents, but by type it is a cover kit, molded to fit over the handle area.
Installation steps
Both Tundra tailgate accents mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, it holds for a lifetime and won't damage the truck's surface.
- Clean the tailgate handle area thoroughly; it collects road film.
- Degrease the tailgate handle area and allow it to dry.
- Dry-fit both pieces, making sure the camera opening is centered on the lens.
- Press firmly for a few seconds, then check the camera image.
The Installation tab has full guidance.
Tundra companion parts
QAA lists GC27145, a one-piece gas door cover trim, and two four-piece wheel well fender trim moldings, WZ27145 and WZ27145-AP, for the same truck. The two fender trim listings share the same description and fitment, and the catalog data does not state the difference between them, so check the photos or call. All appear in the Fitment tab.
A small chrome upgrade at the rear
The tailgate handle sits at the center of the rear view, so it is a high-visibility spot for chrome. The cover goes over the existing handle, leaving the tailgate's operation unchanged, and with camera access the backup view stays clear.
Checklist
Confirm three things before ordering: your Tundra is from the listed years, it has a camera at the tailgate handle (if it does not, the DH27148 kit may also suit), and the handle shape matches the photos. If any of those are uncertain, call and we will help you decide.
Care
Let the tape settle before washing, then clean the cover with the rest of the truck and dry it with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Accent
- Unpack all 2 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.
