Product Description
Dodge Dakota 4-Door Chrome Door Handle Covers, 8 Pieces, 2005-2011 (DH45990)
DH45990 is the eight-piece chrome door handle cover kit QAA lists for the 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota four-door pickup. The covers are molded from polished chrome-plated ABS plastic and imported, and the kit is part of a short Dakota trim family that also includes a tailgate handle cover and wheel well trim.
Dakota fitment
One row: Dodge Dakota, 2005 to 2011, seven model years, 4-door pickup truck. The Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA records it. Two-door Dakotas are not part of this listing, so call us if that is your truck.
Keyholes
The catalog has no key access note for this kit. It does not say whether the covers have keyhole openings or on which doors. Look at your front door handles for lock cylinders and compare them with the product photos. If you need to keep a lock reachable and are unsure, call before ordering.
Complete the truck
Two other Dakota parts are cross-listed:
- DH45994, a 1pc chrome tailgate handle cover kit listed for 2-door and 4-door pickups
- WZ45990, a 4pc wheel well fender trim molding set
Pairing the door covers with the tailgate cover gives the truck matching chrome at every handle, front to back.
Eight pieces
The kit includes eight pieces for the four doors. The catalog does not label each piece, so use the product photos to group them by door before you start.
Chrome-plated ABS
ABS is a tough molded plastic. The Dakota covers are chrome plated and polished, with a molded shape that wraps each handle area rather than a flat strip. That look pairs well with chrome mirrors, bumpers, or grille trim.
How to install
On the 2005-2011 Dakota, the eight chrome covers are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape holds for a lifetime and won't damage the Dodge's surface.
- Wash and rinse each handle area.
- Use degreaser to clear wax and road film.
- Dry fully.
- Dry-fit door by door.
- Press firmly for several seconds as each piece goes on.
Let the truck sit dry overnight after installing. The Installation tab gives the detailed steps.
Why pickup owners add them
Truck door handles get grabbed with gloves, dirty hands, and keys every day, and the area around them shows it. A chrome cover refreshes that high-wear spot in an afternoon.
Work order
Fit the Dakota covers one door at a time, front pair and then rear. Step back after each one to make sure the covers sit level and match across the side of the truck.
Conditions for a strong bond
Foam tape grips best on clean, dry paint at a mild temperature. Avoid direct afternoon sun and cold mornings. If the Dakota was recently waxed, spend more time degreasing, since wax is the commonest reason a cover won't seat evenly. Press along the full outline of every piece.
Care
Wash and dry the chrome with a soft towel once the tape has set, and skip abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Door Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
