Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover for 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado, 2 Pieces (DH39182)
The back of a pickup gets looked at more than most people think, and the tailgate handle sits right in the middle of it. DH39182 is a two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit that QAA lists for the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup. It is molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported.
What the listing covers
The fitment row reads Chevrolet Silverado, 1999 to 2006, eight model years, cataloged as a 2-door pickup truck. Because this is a tailgate part, the cab door count in the data is less important than the bed and tailgate, but it is the row QAA has on file, so if your truck has a larger cab, call us to confirm before ordering. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as recorded.
About a tailgate lock
The catalog has no key access note for this kit, so it does not state whether the cover leaves an opening for a tailgate lock. If your tailgate has a key cylinder, check the product photos closely or call us first.
Chrome-plated ABS
ABS is a strong molded plastic. QAA's covers are plated in chrome and polished, giving a bright, shaped surface over the handle area. Next to a chrome rear bumper, it makes the tailgate look finished rather than plain.
Mounting the two pieces
Both pieces 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. Tailgates catch road spray, so clean carefully: wash, degrease, and dry. Dropping the tailgate can make the handle area easier to reach. Test-fit both pieces by hand, then press each one on. The Installation tab goes step by step. The catalog does not describe what each of the two pieces covers, so let the photos guide placement.
Build out the Silverado
This SKU is cross-listed with a group of other Silverado parts:
- RT39181, a 1pc tailgate accent trim
- TH39176 and TH39178, 10pc full-length upper rocker panel kits for the regular cab short bed, 5.5 inches
- TH39177 and TH39179, 11pc full-length upper rocker kits for the extended cab, long bed and short bed, also 5.5 inches
- WS39181, a 2pc window sill trim set, and PP39181, a 2pc pillar post trim set, both for the regular cab
One more part is linked by number only. QAA describes the upper rocker kits as spanning from the bottom of the molding down to the specified width. Pairing the tailgate cover with the tailgate accent strip is an easy way to dress up the whole rear of the truck.
Give it time
Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing the truck for a while after installation so the tape can settle fully.
Catalog note
This listing's notes say "Door Handle Cover," even though the part is a tailgate handle cover kit. We have flagged the wording for cleanup; the title, category, and photos describe the tailgate part.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- 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.
