Product Description
Nissan Maxima 1995-1999 Stainless Door Handle Trim with Passenger Key Access, 8 Pieces (DH95540)
DH95540 brings eight polished stainless steel door handle accents to the Nissan Maxima sedan, model years 1995 through 1999. The catalog notes this set includes passenger key access, which matters on a car where you still unlock the door with a key.
What "passenger key access" means here
The listing calls out a provision for the passenger-side key. The catalog doesn't break down which pieces include the opening, so compare the product photos with your own doors to see how it's handled. If your Maxima's handles don't look like the ones pictured, call and we'll help you check.
The fitment row
One row: Nissan Maxima, 1995-1999, 4-door Sedan. Five model years, one body style. The Fitment tab lists it exactly as QAA entered it.
Eight pieces, sorted before you start
Because there are eight pieces for four doors, sorting matters. The sheet doesn't say where each one sits, so use the photos as your map. Lay the pieces out by door on a clean towel before removing any liners. It keeps the job orderly and avoids a piece ending up on the wrong handle.
Specs at a glance
Polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, made in the USA. The 26-gauge sheet follows the curves around a Maxima handle, and the brightness is the polished metal itself, not a coating. Every Maxima accent mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface, with no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Paint first
A Maxima from these years has had plenty of hands on its door handles. Look at the paint around each one. The tape grips the paint, so it needs to be firmly attached: no peeling clear coat, no chips under where the accent will sit. Sound paint just needs a thorough cleaning.
Installation sequence
Wash and rinse each handle area, then degrease. Degrease again if the car has been waxed for years. Let it dry completely. Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, judging its position from a step back, and mark both ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, line up with your marks, and press firmly along the full length; press again after a minute. Do the front doors first, compare from the front of the car, and match the rear doors to them. The Installation tab spells out the full prep.
Why polished handles
On a sedan that's been looked after, the handle area is one of the few places where a small change shows. Polished steel puts a bright line where people look up close, and the Maxima's doors and locks work as before.
Best day to do it
Dry weather, mild temperatures, out of the sun. Keep the car dry overnight.
Cleaning
Mild soap and a soft towel. Keep steel wool and scouring pads away from it.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
