Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Lever Cover for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150, One Piece (DH55307)
DH55307 is a small part with a narrow job: one chrome cover for the lever on a Ford F-150 tailgate handle, model years 2015 through 2017. QAA's note is specific, "Includes Tailgate Handle Lever trim only," so it covers the lever piece and nothing around it. If you want the surrounding bezel or a full tailgate accent, this is not that part.
Fitment
QAA's product page lists the Ford F-150 from 2015 through 2017, and the Fitment tab shows that one row, tagged 2-door, 4-door and Pickup Truck. If your truck is outside that span, or you aren't sure of the year, call before you order rather than guess.
Cab doesn't matter here
Because the part sits on the tailgate, the cab configuration has no bearing on it. Both 2-door and 4-door trucks appear in the body tags, and the listing does not split the part by cab, so one cover is offered for both.
Construction
The cover is ABS plastic that has been chrome-plated and polished, and it is imported. It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. No screws or brackets are listed, and the factory lever keeps working beneath the chrome.
Mounting a lever cover
Small parts are less forgiving than large ones, since there is less tape doing the work. Prep matters:
- Lower the tailgate if that gives you a cleaner angle on the lever.
- Clean the lever with soap and water, then degrease it.
- Let it dry completely, including any recesses.
- Test the fit by hand, then press firmly for several seconds.
QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Give the bond a night before the first wash. The Installation tab has the full prep notes.
Check the lever still moves
Once the cover is pressed down, pull the handle through its full travel a few times. The tailgate should open and latch the way it did before, and the cover shouldn't rub against anything as the lever swings.
Lining it up
Before peeling anything, hold the cover on the lever and look at it straight on from behind the truck. The edges should follow the lever's outline evenly. A cover that sits crooked by a few millimeters is easy to spot on a tailgate, so take the time to center it before pressing.
Why a lever cover
The tailgate lever is one of the most handled spots on a pickup, and it sits at eye level when you walk up to the back of the truck. A chrome cover there gives the tailgate a finished look without replacing the handle assembly.
Conditions
A mild, dry day out of direct sunlight is best. Cold plastic and hot plastic both make the tape harder to seat.
Care
Use mild soap and a soft cloth. Abrasive pads will dull the plating.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover
- 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.
