Product Description
Silverado / Sierra Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover with Key Access, 2 Pieces, 2007-2013 (DH47182)
If your Silverado or Sierra tailgate locks with a key, DH47182 is the cover with an opening for it. QAA notes this two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit "Includes key access." It is listed for the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, in both 2-door and 4-door pickup configurations, and it is made of polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported.
Three tailgate covers, three layouts
QAA lists three two-piece tailgate covers for these trucks, and their notes are the only difference the catalog records:
- DH47182 (this kit): includes key access
- DH47183: does not include key access
- DH47184: includes camera access
Look at your tailgate. A key cylinder by the handle means this kit. A camera there points to DH47184. Neither one points to DH47183. If your tailgate has both a lock and a camera, call us, because none of the notes describes both openings.
Fitment
Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, 2007 through 2013, seven model years each, 2-door and 4-door pickup truck. The Fitment tab shows both rows.
Matching door covers and trim
DH47181 is the cross-listed 8pc chrome door handle cover kit for these trucks, noted "Does not include passenger key access." The family also has DS47184, a 4pc crew cab door sill trim at 3.5 inches, GC47181, a 1pc gas door cover trim, and window sill sets WS47181 (2pc, regular cab) and WS47185 (4pc, extended cab).
Material
Molded ABS plastic, plated in chrome and polished. The shaped cover gives the tailgate handle a full chrome surface, and the key opening keeps the lock usable.
Install
QAA mounts the two pieces 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. Wash the tailgate around the handle, degrease, and dry. Dry-fit both pieces and line up the key opening with the lock cylinder. Then press each one firmly for several seconds. Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing the truck for a while. The Installation tab covers it in full.
Test the lock
Once the cover is on, try the key once to make sure it enters and turns freely.
Two pieces
The catalog does not describe each piece, so check the photos to see how they fit around the handle and lock.
Why the tailgate
The tailgate handle is used every time the bed is loaded or unloaded, and it sits in the middle of the rear view. A chrome cover there sharpens the back of the truck, and it pairs naturally with chrome door covers on the cab.
Conditions and care
Install on a dry, mild day out of direct sun. Tailgates carry road film in their seams, so a second degreaser pass is worth it. Once the tape has set, wash and dry the chrome with a soft towel and skip abrasive pads.
Catalog note
Its listing notes say "Door Handle Cover," but this two-piece kit covers the Silverado and Sierra tailgate handle.

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.
