Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover without Key Access for 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, 2 Pieces (DH47183)
A tailgate without a lock cylinder takes a solid cover, and DH47183 is that version for the 2007-2013 Silverado and Sierra. QAA notes it "Does not include key access." The kit has two pieces of polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported, and it is listed for 2-door and 4-door pickups of both badges.
Start with your tailgate
Before ordering, look closely at the area around the tailgate handle.
- Is there a key cylinder? If yes, choose DH47182, noted "Includes key access."
- Is there a camera? If yes, choose DH47184, noted "Includes camera access."
- Neither? Then this solid cover, DH47183, is the match.
Those notes are the only differences the catalog records between the three two-piece tailgate kits for these trucks.
Where it fits
Two rows, identical in years and body: Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2013 and GMC Sierra 2007-2013, each listed as 2-door and 4-door pickup truck, seven model years. The Fitment tab shows them exactly as cataloged.
A clean, unbroken surface
Without a key opening, the cover gives the handle area an uninterrupted chrome finish. Molded from ABS plastic and chrome plated, it has a shaped profile that wraps the handle rather than lying flat.
The cab side
QAA cross-lists DH47181, an 8pc chrome door handle cover kit for the same trucks noted "Does not include passenger key access." Window sill sets for the regular cab (WS47181, 2pc) and extended cab (WS47185, 4pc), a 4pc crew cab door sill trim (DS47184, 3.5 inches), and a 1pc gas door cover trim (GC47181) complete the group.
Mounting
On the 2007-2013 Silverado or Sierra, this kit mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the truck's surface.
- Wash the tailgate around the handle.
- Degrease twice if the truck sees dusty roads.
- Dry completely.
- Dry-fit both pieces by hand, using the product photos as your guide.
- Press each firmly along its full outline.
Avoid slamming the tailgate or washing the truck for a while. Full steps are in the Installation tab.
Why owners add it
The tailgate handle gets constant use and sits right in the center of the rear view. Chrome there finishes the back of the truck and matches chrome door covers up front.
Lining it up
With no opening to use as a reference, center the cover by eye. Hold it in place without pressing, step back to look from directly behind the truck, and adjust until it sits even around the handle. A strip of painter's tape can mark the spot during the dry fit.
Care
When the tape has bonded, wash the chrome and dry it with a soft towel; abrasive pads will scratch the plating on the GM tailgate.
Catalog note
The listing notes say "Door Handle Cover," but this kit is for the tailgate handle, and its title, category and photos all show the Silverado and Sierra tailgate part.

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.
