Product Description
Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 Stainless Door Handle Accent with Cut Out, 2 Pieces (HS45090)
HS45090 is a two-piece stainless door handle accent for the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2-door SUV, model years 1997 through 2006, ten years on a single Fitment row. The catalog gives two specific details: each piece comes with a cut out, and the width is 7 inches. Made in the USA, the Wrangler TJ's two accents are polished 304 stainless at 26 gauge. The Wrangler TJ accents attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
The cut out is the feature to understand before ordering. The catalog doesn't describe its shape or what it leaves open, so look at the product photos alongside your own door handles to see how the opening lines up. That comparison also tells you which piece goes on which door. The photos also show how much of the area around the handle the 7 inch width covers.
The TJ sheet also lists DH45090, a three-piece door handle accent set that includes two front pieces and one rear. The two sets are different products with different piece counts, so compare both listings to decide which suits your Jeep, or call us and we'll help you choose.
The accents install directly over the existing surface, without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. On a Jeep from these years, check the paint around each handle carefully for chips, scratches from keys and rings, or flaking clear coat, and repair them before installing; the tape needs a firm surface. Wash the area with soapy water, rinse, dry, and wipe with a degreaser.
Hold each piece in position with the liner on, line the cut out up with the handle, and mark the edges with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the piece against the marks, and press firmly over its whole surface. Do the second accent the same way and check both from a step back so they sit at the same height. Press each piece again after a minute. Open and close each door to confirm the handle works normally. The Installation tab has more detail.
Other cross-listed TJ parts include HP45090, a six-piece hinge cap package whose note says four pieces cover the hinges on the two doors and two are on the hood; TH45090, a four-piece on-the-rocker trim at 4.25 inches that installs below the door; TH45091, a two-piece lower rocker kit at 3 inches; and WT45090, a one-piece windshield accent at 1.125 inches. Check each listing for its finish.
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright accent, and 26 gauge keeps it slim. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight. Afterward, rinse off mud and clean with mild soap and a soft cloth.
Ten model years on one row makes this accent easy to match: any 2-door Wrangler TJ from 1997 to 2006 is listed, and your records confirm the year. Door handle areas see a lot of hand contact, so after installation, wipe the stainless now and then to keep fingerprints off the polish.

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.
