Product Description
Four-Piece Polished Stainless Door Handle Accent for the 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 (DH13180)
RAV4 owners shopping for handle trim from QAA have two very different options, and DH13180 is the stainless one. This is a four-piece door handle accent trim made from polished 304 stainless steel for the 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 4-door SUV. It puts a bright metal detail at each Rav4 handle and leaves the handles as they are.
Accents or full covers?
QAA also lists DH13181, an eight-piece door handle cover kit for the same RAV4. The difference is stated in the catalog and it is real:
- DH13180, this kit: four pieces, 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, door handle accent trim
- DH13181: eight pieces, door handle cover kit; check its listing for its finish
An accent is a polished highlight at the handle area, while a cover kit fits over the handle itself. If you want solid stainless and a lighter touch, choose this one. If you'd rather have a cover kit than accents, look at DH13181 and check its listing for its finish.
Fitment
QAA lists the Toyota RAV4 4-door SUV for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The Fitment tab shows the catalog row. That six-year span is the same for both handle kits, so the choice between them comes down to material, piece count, and look rather than fitment.
About the material
Each of the four accents is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. As solid stainless, the shine is the metal itself. Grade 304 is a widely used stainless alloy, and 26 gauge is the sheet thickness QAA starts with.
Installing
The accents attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface, so no drilling is required. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. Wipe each handle area with a degreaser, let it dry, check each accent's position, then peel and press firmly. Do all four in one session so they line up the same way on every door. The Installation tab gives step-by-step detail.
Building on it
This RAV4 has a wide range of cross-listed QAA trim. AT13180 is a four-piece body side molding accent at 1" wide for the doors. GC13180 is a one-piece gas door cover. For the windows, there are four pillar post kits, PP13180, PP13181, PP13182, and PP13183, in four, six, eight, and ten pieces; the catalog does not state how they differ beyond the count, so compare their photos or call. RW13180, TH13180, TH13181, WP13180 and WP13181 are cross-listed by number only; check each listing for its details.
Why choose stainless at the handles
If the RAV4's side accent or pillar posts are on your list too, check each listing's finish so the pieces work together. Four pieces also make for a quick, simple install with nothing to line up around the handle mechanism itself.

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.
