Product Description
Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover with Key Access, 2 Pieces, 1999-2007 (DH37309)
If your Super Duty's tailgate has a lock, the cover over it needs an opening for the key. QAA's note on DH37309 says exactly that: "Includes key access." This two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit is listed for the 1999-2007 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickup, in both 2-door and 4-door cab configurations. It is imported and molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic.
Fitment in one line
Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, model years 1999 through 2007, nine years in all, listed as 2-door and 4-door pickup truck. Since this is a tailgate part, the cab door count simply confirms that regular cabs and larger cabs are both included. The Fitment tab shows the row as QAA catalogs it.
Key access, explained
A tailgate handle cover sits over the handle area at the back of the bed. On trucks with a tailgate lock cylinder, a cover without an opening would block the key. This kit has that opening built in, so you can keep locking the tailgate after the chrome goes on. Check your tailgate before ordering: a visible keyhole near the handle means this note applies to you.
The chrome finish
Chrome-plated ABS is a molded plastic part finished with bright chrome and polished. On a Super Duty, the rear view is dominated by the tailgate and bumper, and a chrome handle cover gives that area a finished, matched look, especially next to a chrome rear bumper.
Installation steps
On the 1999-2007 Super Duty, both pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which QAA states will hold for a lifetime without damaging the truck's surface. For the best bond:
- Wash the tailgate around the handle, where road grime builds up.
- Clean off grease from around the tailgate handle and give it time to dry.
- Test-fit both pieces and line up the key opening with the lock.
- Set both pieces and hold each down firmly for several seconds.
Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing the truck for a while so the tape can settle. The Installation tab has full instructions.
Matching side trim
The catalog links this SKU to a set of Super Duty lower rocker panel trim kits rated at 5.5 inches, which QAA describes as spanning from the bottom of the door up to the specified width. There's an 8pc version for the regular cab long bed and 10pc versions for Extra Cab and crew cab trucks in short and long bed, plus dually versions. A few more parts are linked by part number only. Chrome at the tailgate and stainless along the rockers make a consistent package.
Before you click order
Check that your truck is a Super Duty F-250 or F-350 from the listed years and that its tailgate has a key cylinder. If both are true, this is the kit with the matching opening.

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.
