Product Description
Chevrolet Corvette Polished Stainless Door Handle Trim, 2 Pieces, 2005-2013 (DH47102)
DH47102 is a two-piece stainless door handle accent set for the 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette. QAA lists it for the 2-door Corvette in three body styles, Targa Top, Coupe, and Convertible, across nine model years. The pieces are polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and they install right over the existing surface.
Three body styles, one set
- Targa Top
- Coupe
- Convertible
All three are listed on the same row, Chevrolet Corvette 2005-2013, 2-door. The roof style does not change the door handle area in the catalog's view, so one part number covers each. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as QAA records it.
One accent per door
Two doors, two accents. The catalog does not describe their exact shape, so the product photos are the best reference for how each frames its handle.
Polished 304 at 26 gauge
Type 304 is a widely used stainless grade. QAA rolls it thin, to 26 gauge, so each accent sits close to the door, and polishes it to a mirror-like shine. Made in the USA.
Installing on a Corvette
On the 2005-2013 Corvette, each accent mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, without drilling. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the car's surface.
Prep is the whole game, especially on a car that gets waxed or detailed often. Wash around each handle, then wipe with a degreaser or rubbing alcohol to remove wax, sealant, or detailing spray. Let the surface dry completely. Hold each accent in place with its liner on and check alignment from a few steps back, since the door lines are what your eye will compare it to. Then peel and press firmly along the whole piece for several seconds. The Installation tab has the full process.
Taking your time
With only two pieces, there is no rush. Set the first accent, look at it in good light, and make any adjustment before pressing it home. Then match the second accent to it so both look the same.
What does not change
The accents go over the existing surface. The handles stay in place and work as before, and nothing is removed or drilled.
Conditions
Choose a mild, dry day in the shade. On a convertible or Targa Top, keep the top in place and the car dry overnight after installing so the tape can bond.
Care
Wash and dry the stainless with the rest of the car using a soft microfiber towel. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh polishing compounds, which can dull a polished finish.
Why handle trim
The handle area is where fingers and rings meet paint every time you open the door. A slim polished accent there gives the Corvette's door a bright edge on a detail few people notice until it's done.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- 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 directly over the existing surface, 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.
