Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover without Camera Access, 2 Pieces, for 2004-2014 F-150 and 2008-2016 Super Duty (DH44307)
Whether your tailgate has a backup camera near the handle is the deciding question for DH44307. QAA notes this two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit "Does not include camera access." It is listed for the 2004-2014 Ford F-150 and the 2008-2016 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, in 2-door and 4-door pickup configurations. The covers are polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported.
Camera or no camera
QAA lists a twin kit for the same trucks, DH44312, noted "Includes camera access." That note is the difference the catalog records between them:
- No camera at the tailgate handle: DH44307, this kit.
- Camera at the tailgate handle: DH44312.
A cover without a camera opening would sit over the lens, so take a look at your tailgate before ordering.
Two Ford truck lines
The fitment rows are:
- Ford F-150, 2004-2014, eleven model years, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck
- Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, 2-door and 4-door, 2008-2016 (nine model years)
The year ranges differ, so match your truck to its own row. The Fitment tab shows both exactly as QAA records them.
Two pieces
The kit has two pieces. The catalog does not describe each one, so use the product photos to see how they fit around the tailgate handle.
Chrome-plated ABS
Molded ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished, imported. The shaped profile gives the tailgate handle a bright chrome surface that suits a chrome rear bumper.
Fitting it
QAA mounts this kit 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 collect road film and dust, so:
- Wash the handle area and rinse well.
- Degrease the tailgate area and let it dry completely.
- Lower the tailgate if it gives you a better angle.
- Check both pieces in place by hand before either is pressed on.
- Keep firm pressure on each piece for several seconds once it is set.
Avoid slamming the tailgate and washing the truck for a while afterward. The Installation tab has more detail.
Not sure about the camera?
Open the tailgate area in good light and look closely around and just above the handle. If you see a small lens, choose the camera-access twin. If your truck has no rear camera there, this kit is the one. When in doubt, send us a photo or call, and we will help you confirm before you spend anything.
Matching the doors
If chrome door handle covers are going on too, this tailgate kit gives the F-150 chrome at every handle, front and rear.
Why the rear handle
The tailgate handle gets used every time the bed is loaded or unloaded, and it sits in the middle of the rear view. Chrome there finishes the back of the truck with very little work.
Catalog note
The notes here also use "Door Handle Cover," yet the F-150 and Super Duty part shown in the title, category and photos is a tailgate handle cover kit. That wording has been reported.

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.
