Product Description
One-Piece Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2500/3500 (DH59177)
DH59177 is a single tailgate handle cover in polished, chrome-plated ABS plastic, a simple way to put chrome on the back of a newer Silverado. QAA's title calls it a fit for "all model" Silverados, and the fitment rows cover both the Silverado 1500 and the 2500/3500 trucks.
What the rows say
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2019-2026, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck
- Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, 2020-2026, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck
The second row's model name reads "Silverado 2500/3500 JD," which looks like a typo for HD. We've flagged it for correction. Since the cover goes on the tailgate, cab size doesn't affect the fit as listed. The Fitment tab shows both rows.
No camera note
Unlike some tailgate covers, this listing makes no mention of camera or sensor access. That doesn't necessarily mean it blocks anything; the data simply doesn't say. If your tailgate handle area has a backup camera or sensors, compare it with the photos carefully, or call us before ordering.
Catalog wording
The notes include "Door Handle Cover," but this is a tailgate part. That line is a catalog wording issue, and it's been flagged.
Material and mounting
Molded ABS plastic, chrome-plated, polished and imported. It mounts 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.
Why the tailgate handle
The tailgate is the part of the truck that drivers behind you stare at, and the handle sits right at its center. A plated cover there catches the light and draws the eye, while the factory handle keeps working underneath. It also pairs naturally with chrome on the door handles or mirrors.
Before ordering
Confirm your truck's model and year appear in the rows above, and compare your handle with the photos, especially if it has a camera.
A quick install
One piece makes for a short job, but the bond still depends on prep. Clean the tailgate handle area with soap and water, then degreaser, and let it dry. Hold the cover on by hand, check that it seats evenly, and outline it with painter's tape. Align it and press firmly around the whole edge for several seconds. Then work the handle a few times to confirm the tailgate opens normally. Full detail is in the Installation tab.
Checking it from a distance
Before pressing it on, step back to the end of the driveway. The cover should look centered on the tailgate from there, not just from arm's length.
Best day for it
Mild temperatures, dry air and shade. Cold or sun-hot paint makes the tape harder to seat. Let the truck stay dry overnight, and if it was waxed recently, run the degreaser over the area twice.
Upkeep
Wash the chrome with mild soap and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and gritty polishes.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
