Product Description
Ford F-150 and Super Duty Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover with Camera Access, 2 Pieces (DH44312)
A tailgate camera near the handle needs a cover with an opening, and DH44312 has one. QAA's note reads "Includes camera access." This two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit is listed for the 2004-2014 Ford F-150 and the 2008-2016 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, in both 2-door and 4-door pickup configurations. It is molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported.
Pick the right tailgate kit
The twin to this kit is DH44307, which QAA notes "Does not include camera access." Camera access is the only difference the catalog records between them. Look at the tailgate area around the handle:
- If you see a camera lens: this kit, DH44312.
- If there is no camera: DH44307.
If you are unsure what you are looking at, send us a photo and we will help you confirm.
Trucks and years
Ford F-150 from 2004 to 2014 covers eleven model years. Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty from 2008 to 2016 covers nine. Both rows include 2-door and 4-door pickups, and the Fitment tab shows them exactly as cataloged. Match your truck to its own row, since the ranges are not the same.
Chrome-plated ABS
Molded ABS plastic finished in polished chrome. The shaped pieces wrap the tailgate handle area in bright chrome, which looks right beside a chrome rear bumper, and the camera opening keeps the view clear.
Two pieces, carefully placed
The kit has two pieces. The catalog does not describe each one, so study the product photos to see how they sit around the handle and the camera opening.
Installation
Both pieces mount 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. Clean thoroughly, since the tailgate collects road film: wash, degrease, and dry. Take care not to scratch the camera lens while cleaning. Dry-fit first and confirm the camera opening lines up with the lens, then press each piece firmly for several seconds so the tape grips. Avoid slamming the tailgate and hold off on washing for a while. Full steps are in the Installation tab.
After installation
Check your camera display to make sure nothing crowds the view. Then wash and dry the chrome like any other bright trim.
Pairing with door covers
Chrome door handle covers on the cab and this kit on the tailgate give the truck matching chrome at every handle.
Finishing the rear
The tailgate handle sits in the middle of the rear view, and it gets used every time you load the bed. Chrome there is a quick way to finish the back of the truck.
Catalog note
Its listing notes say "Door Handle Cover," but this kit covers the tailgate handle on the F-150 and the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, as the title, category and photos all show.

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.
