Product Description
2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover, 2 Pieces, No Camera Access (DH26241)
The Ridgeline's tailgate handle gets a lot of use, and DH26241 turns it chrome. This two-piece chrome plated ABS tailgate handle cover kit is listed for the 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline 4-door pickup. One point to know up front: the catalog note says it "Does not include camera access."
Camera check first
Some tailgates carry a rear camera near the handle. This cover is not shaped with an opening for one. If your Ridgeline has a camera at the tailgate handle, this kit would sit where the camera is, so look at your tailgate before ordering. If there is no camera there, the note does not affect you.
Fitment
Honda Ridgeline, 4-door pickup truck, model years 2006 through 2014: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Nine years in a single row, shown in the Fitment tab exactly as QAA catalogs it.
Two pieces
A two-piece tailgate kit covers the handle and its surrounding area. The catalog does not label the pieces individually, so use the product photos to see which goes where.
Chrome plated ABS plastic
Both pieces are ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished, imported. Molded ABS can follow the shape of the handle area, and the plating provides the bright finish.
Tailgate install tips
QAA uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on this kit. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The tailgate catches road spray and dust, so:
- Wash the tailgate handle area and rinse well.
- Clean the tailgate handle area with degreaser, then give it time to dry fully.
- Try both pieces in place before either one touches the handle.
- Set each piece and hold it down firmly for a few seconds.
Avoid opening and closing the tailgate hard right after install. The Installation tab has the complete process.
Ridgeline companion parts
QAA lists three other parts for the same Ridgeline 4-door pickup:
- MC25240: two-piece mirror cover set
- PP25240: four-piece pillar post trim
- PP25241: six-piece pillar post trim
The pillar post kits differ only in piece count in the data, so compare the photos. Chrome mirror covers and a chrome tailgate handle make a natural pair, putting bright accents at the front and back of the truck.
The view from behind
The tailgate is what drivers behind you see at every light. A chrome handle at its center is a small, visible upgrade that does not change how the tailgate works, since the cover goes over the existing handle.
Matching the doors
If your Ridgeline already wears chrome door handle covers, this kit finishes the set so the tailgate matches. If the door handles are still body color, consider whether you want the tailgate alone as an accent or the whole truck in chrome; the photos of each part help you picture the result.
Nine model years, one part
Every Ridgeline from the listed range uses this same part number, so early and late trucks follow the same instructions and use the same photos as their guide.

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.
