Product Description
Silverado and Sierra Tailgate Handle Cover with Camera Access, Chrome, 2 Pieces (DH54184)
A backup camera mounted at the tailgate handle rules out a solid cover. DH54184 is QAA's answer for 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks and the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD: a two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover that "Includes camera access." The pieces are polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported, attached with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Camera opening, confirmed
The camera opening lets the lens see out with the chrome cover in place. Before ordering, confirm that your tailgate actually has a camera at the handle. If it doesn't, the sister kit DH54183, a 3pc tailgate handle cover kit noted as not including camera access, is the one QAA lists for that setup. The notes on neither kit mention a key opening, so compare the photos if your handle has a lock.
Years and models
QAA records three rows:
- Chevrolet Silverado, 2014 to 2018
- Chevrolet Silverado (1500 LD), 2019 only
- GMC Sierra, 2014 to 2018
Each row's body field lists 2-door and 4-door pickups, Extended Cab, and "1500 LD Model only." We have flagged that combined list. Owners of a 2019 truck should note that only the 1500 LD Silverado is listed for that year. The rows appear in the Fitment tab as recorded.
Wording on the listing
The notes include "Door Handle Cover," while the part type is a tailgate handle cover kit. The product is the tailgate cover.
Getting the camera opening right
Alignment matters more here than on a solid cover. During the dry fit, hold both pieces in place and look straight at the lens. It should sit fully inside the opening with no chrome edge in the camera's view. Mark the positions with painter's tape, then commit.
Steps
QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Wash the handle area, taking care around the camera, then degrease and dry. After the dry fit, press each piece firmly along every edge. Wipe the lens clean when you are done. Full instructions are in the Installation tab.
Check the picture
Before the tape sets, shift into reverse with the engine running and look at the camera display. A clear, unobstructed image means the opening is where it should be.
More for these trucks
Also listed: MC54181 and MC54182, 2pc mirror cover sets (the second for tow mirrors, top only); PP54184, a 4pc pillar post trim for crew cab and double cab bodies; and RW54181, 2pc sliding rear window trim accents.
The material
Molded ABS plastic, chrome-plated and polished to a mirror finish. ABS holds a shaped contour well, which suits a cover that has to frame both the handle and a cutout for the lens. The latch underneath keeps working as before.
Afterward
Keep the truck dry overnight and close the tailgate gently for the first day. Wash the chrome with mild soap and a soft towel, and skip abrasive pads.

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.
