Product Description
2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover, 1 Piece (DH46659)
DH46659 is one of two one-piece chrome tailgate handle covers QAA lists for the 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT crew cab pickup. It is molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported. The key thing to know is how it compares to its twin.
Twin covers, one difference on record
The other cover, DH46656, is noted "Includes cutout for camera access." DH46659 carries no camera note in the catalog, so the data does not state whether it has a camera cutout or how else it differs. Before ordering:
- Look at your tailgate for a camera near the handle.
- If there is one, DH46656 is the cover noted with a cutout for it.
- If there is none, compare the photos of both covers, or call us and we will help you decide.
Fitment
Lincoln Mark LT, 2006-2008, three model years, cataloged as a 4-door pickup truck with crew cab. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as recorded.
Handle covers for the doors
QAA also lists two four-piece door handle cover kits for the Mark LT. DH46657 is noted "Includes cutout for Keypad access, Does not include Passenger Key access." DH46658 has no opening note. Pair either with a tailgate cover for chrome at every handle on the truck.
Molded chrome
The cover is ABS plastic plated in chrome and polished. Its molded shape gives the tailgate handle area a full chrome surface, a look that fits a truck already wearing chrome trim.
A single piece to place
With one cover, installation is quick, and alignment is the whole job. The catalog does not give its outline or dimensions, so check the photos to see how it frames the handle.
Installing
QAA uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on this cover. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Wash the tailgate around the handle, degrease to remove road film, and dry completely. Lower the tailgate if it gives you a better angle. Hold the cover in place, center it, then press firmly along the whole outline. Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing for a while. Full steps are in the Installation tab.
Centering tip
Mark the position with a strip of painter's tape during the dry fit. When you mount it, return the cover to the mark, press, and remove the guide tape.
Conditions
Choose a dry, mild day out of direct sun. Tailgates hold road grime in their seams, so a second degreaser pass is worth the minute it takes before you set the tape.
Catalog note
The notes on this listing say "Door Handle Cover," while the part is a tailgate handle cover kit. We have flagged the wording; the title, category, and photos describe the tailgate part.
Care
Wash and dry with a soft towel once the tape has bonded. Avoid abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
