Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover for 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, 2 Pieces (DH44152)
Every Colorado and Canyon in the 2004-2012 range has a tailgate, whatever the cab, and DH44152 is the chrome cover QAA lists for its handle. This two-piece tailgate handle cover kit is cataloged for both 2-door and 4-door pickups of both badges. It is molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported.
Covered trucks
- Chevrolet Colorado, 2004-2012, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck
- GMC Canyon, 2004-2012, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck
Nine model years on each row. The Fitment tab lists them exactly as QAA records them.
The door kits it matches
Three door handle cover kits for the same trucks are cross-listed with this SKU, each split by door count and passenger lock:
- DH44150: 8pc, 4-door, no passenger key access
- DH44151: 8pc, 4-door, includes passenger key access
- DH44153: 4pc, 2-door, no passenger key access
Whichever one fits your doors, this tailgate cover completes the set at the back. Also linked are a 2pc mirror cover set (MC44150) and a 4pc wheel well fender trim molding set (WZ44150), noted "With Fender Flares."
Tailgate locks
The catalog does not include a key access note for this kit, so it does not say whether the cover has an opening for a tailgate lock. If yours has a key cylinder, compare it with the product photos or call us before ordering.
Two pieces
The catalog lists two pieces without describing each one. The product photos show their shapes, so match them to your tailgate handle before either one goes on.
Material
Molded ABS, plated in chrome and polished. It gives the rear handle a shaped chrome surface that ties in with chrome door handle covers or a chrome rear bumper.
Mounting
QAA uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape here. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Tailgates collect road spray, so clean the handle area thoroughly with soap and water, follow with a degreaser, and dry it. Lowering the tailgate may give a better angle. Dry-fit both pieces, then press each one firmly. Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing the truck for a while. Full steps are in the Installation tab.
Why start at the back
The tailgate handle is the one handle every owner uses, regardless of cab size, and it sits front and center in the rear view. A chrome cover there is a quick upgrade with a visible result. If you plan to do the door handles too, the tailgate is a good warm-up, since it is only two pieces and easy to reach.
After the install
Once the tape has bonded, wash and dry the chrome like any other bright trim. Skip abrasive pads, which can scratch the plating.
Catalog note
One wording point: this record's notes call it a "Door Handle Cover," but the title, category and photos all describe a tailgate handle cover kit for the Colorado and Canyon. We've reported the mismatch.

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.
