Product Description
Toyota Land Cruiser 1995-1997 Stainless Door Handle Trim, 4 Pieces (DH96179)
DH96179 puts a polished stainless accent at the door handles of a 1995, 1996 or 1997 Land Cruiser. The set has four pieces of 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and it's listed for the 4-door SUV.
Fitment, plainly
Toyota Land Cruiser, 1995-1997, 4-door SUV. That's the one row QAA lists. Check your model year before ordering, since it's a three-year window. The Fitment tab shows the row.
Building a matched look
This sheet cross-references two more polished stainless listings for the same Land Cruiser:
- PP96179, a four-piece pillar post trim for the 4-door SUV.
- TH95181, a 10-piece upper rocker panel kit that spans from the bottom of the molding down to a listed width of 6.5.
Handles, pillars and rockers together put the same bright finish along the side of the SUV. Each listing has its own details, so read those before combining them.
Four accents
The catalog doesn't detail how each of the four pieces is placed, and there's no key-access note. The photos show the shape; compare them with your handles and call if anything looks off.
The material
Polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge. It's a thin sheet that conforms to the door around the handle, and the shine is the metal itself.
How it goes on
The accents install directly over the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Nothing is drilled. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Check the paint around the handles
On an SUV in this age range, check the handle areas closely before you start. Because the tape holds to the paint, look for flaking, chips or heavy oxidation where each accent will go. Sound paint only needs to be cleaned well.
Installation notes
Wash each handle area and rinse. Degrease, then repeat on paint with years of wax on it. Dry thoroughly. Hold each accent in place with the liner on, step back to check it, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, align to the marks, and press firmly along the whole piece. Press again after a minute. Start at the front doors, check them from ahead of the SUV, then match the rear doors to them. The Installation tab has the full prep list.
Ordering checklist
Confirm the year is 1995-1997, confirm it's the 4-door SUV, compare your handles with the photos, and inspect the paint. If pillar or rocker trim is planned for the Land Cruiser, check those listings at the same time.
Why handles get attention
On any SUV, the door handles are used constantly by everyone who rides along. A polished accent there brightens a spot people see up close, and it does nothing to change how the doors open or lock.
Install day
Dry and mild, out of direct sun. Keep it dry overnight.
Cleaning
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Abrasives scratch polished stainless.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
