Product Description
Chevrolet Silverado 2019-2026 Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover Kit with Camera and Sensor Access (DH59173)
If your Silverado's tailgate handle area holds a camera or sensors, a chrome cover there has to work around them. QAA's note on DH59173 says it "Includes camera and sensor access." It is a chrome-plated ABS tailgate handle cover kit for the Chevrolet Silverado, listed for 2019 through 2026.
Three pieces in the kit
QAA's product page names this a 3Pc tailgate handle cover kit and lists 3 under Number of Pieces, which matches the piece-count field here. The title on this listing reads 3Pc as well. The photos show each of the three parts, and we can talk you through them by phone.
Fitment
QAA lists one row: Chevrolet Silverado, 2019-2026, tagged 2-door, 4-door and Pickup Truck. Because the part goes on the tailgate, both cab styles are covered. The row doesn't name a series (1500 or heavy duty), so if you want to be sure for your exact truck, it's worth calling to confirm. The Fitment tab shows the row as entered.
About the openings
The note promises camera and sensor access but doesn't describe the shape or position of the openings. Look at your tailgate handle area and compare it with the photos before ordering. Once the kit is dry-fitted, check that the camera lens and any sensor have a clear view.
A wording quirk
The listing's notes also contain the phrase "Door Handle Cover," which looks like a carryover from the door handle kits. This is a tailgate part. We've flagged that line too.
Chrome on plastic
For the 2019-2026 Silverado, the tailgate cover is molded ABS plastic, chrome-plated, polished and imported, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape holds for a lifetime with no damage to the pickup's surface.
Fitting it to the tailgate
- Clean the handle area thoroughly, including around the camera.
- Wipe with degreaser and wait for it to dry.
- Dry-fit by hand; confirm the camera and sensor openings line up.
- Mark positions with painter's tape, then set each cover and press firmly.
- Shift into reverse and check the camera picture for any chrome edge.
The Installation tab has full prep notes.
Before you order
Check three things: your Silverado's year falls within the listed range, your tailgate handle looks like the one in the photos, and the camera or sensor positions on your truck match the openings shown. Any doubt on those points is a reason to call first.
Rounding out a Silverado
Cross-listed parts for the Silverado include PP59171, PP59172 and PP59173 pillar post trim (6pc, 8pc and 10pc with front triangle piece), WP59170 and WP59171 window trim packages, TH59170, a 6pc rocker panel lower kit at 7.5", and GC59170, a 1pc gas door cover trim. Most are tagged 1500 Crew Cab, so check each one's fitment. Eighteen more parts are cross-listed; their pages have the details.
Weather and care
Install in mild, dry weather out of direct sun, and leave the tailgate dry overnight. Clean later with mild soap and a soft cloth, going gently near the camera lens.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 3 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.
