Product Description
Two-Piece Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover with Keyhole for Ford Maverick and Ranger Super Crew (DH62312)
Two Ford pickups share this tailgate handle cover in QAA's data. DH62312 is a two-piece kit in polished, chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported, and one of its bullet points reads "w/keyhole," so the tailgate lock stays reachable with the chrome on.
Maverick and Ranger
The title names the 2022-2024 Ford Maverick and the 2019-2023 Ford Ranger. The fitment rows list:
- Ford Maverick, 2022-2024, 4-door Pickup Truck, Super Crew
- Ford Ranger, 2019-2023, 4-door Pickup Truck, Super Crew
Both rows are tagged Super Crew, and the Ranger span starts three years before the Maverick's. The Fitment tab shows them exactly.
The keyhole
The keyhole appears in the product's bullet list rather than in its notes field. The catalog doesn't describe its size or position, so compare the photos with your own tailgate handle. Once the cover is on, slide the key into the lock to confirm the opening lines up before the tape sets.
Why two pieces?
The catalog doesn't explain how the two pieces split the handle area. Lay them against the photos before you start, so you know which goes where.
Material
ABS plastic is rigid and holds a molded shape well. Here it's chrome-plated and polished for a mirror finish. The tailgate handle works as before underneath.
Mounting
On the Maverick or Ranger SuperCrew, both pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without damaging the pickup's surface.
Step by step
- Clean the tailgate handle area with soap and water.
- Degrease the area and allow it to dry completely.
- Dry-fit both pieces and check the keyhole lines up.
- Mark their positions with painter's tape.
- Place and press each piece firmly around its edges.
- Test the key and pull the handle through its travel a few times.

Why dress the tailgate handle
The tailgate is the panel drivers behind you look at most, and the handle sits near its center. A plated cover there catches the light and ties the Maverick's rear together, especially with chrome on the door handles or mirrors too. It's also one of the quickest trim upgrades, since only two pieces go on.
Centering
Before pressing either piece on, step back a few paces and view the tailgate straight on. Both pieces should look centered and level from a distance, not just up close.
Before you buy
Confirm your truck is a Maverick or Ranger in the listed years, that it carries the Super Crew tag, and that the handle in the photos matches yours. If your truck has a tailgate camera or anything else near the handle, the listing doesn't mention it, so call first.
Conditions
Work on a mild, dry day out of direct sun. Keep the tailgate dry overnight while the bond forms. Degrease twice if the truck was recently waxed.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth keep chrome looking right. Abrasive pads leave scratches.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover
- 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.
