Product Description
Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 Stainless Hinge Cap Package, 6 Pieces (HP45090)
HP45090 is a six-piece stainless hinge cap package for the Jeep Wrangler TJ, 2-door SUV, model years 1997 through 2006. The single Fitment row spans ten years. The catalog explains how the six pieces divide, in its own words: "Four pieces cover the two hinges on the two doors and two hinges are on the hood." In other words, four caps are for the door hinges and two are for the hood hinges, all in one package. The photos show each cap's shape.
For the Wrangler TJ, each of the six caps is polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and is held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, so nothing is drilled. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the Jeep's surface.
Give each one a careful look before you begin. Clean off any grease, dirt or old wax, and repair chipped or flaking paint, because the tape needs a sound surface. If a hinge has surface rust, deal with that first. Wash each hinge area with soapy water, rinse, dry thoroughly and wipe with a degreaser; hinges can hold grease in their seams, so a second degreaser pass is worth it.
Sorting matters with six pieces. Use the product photos to separate the four door hinge caps from the two hood hinge caps, and work out which goes where before any liner comes off. Dry-fit each cap with its liner on and mark the position with painter's tape if needed. Then peel, place and press firmly over the whole cap, working into any curves so the tape seats fully. Open and close each door and the hood slowly afterward to make sure nothing binds. Go back over every cap with firm pressure after a minute. The Installation tab has more detail.
The TJ sheet lists five other parts for the 2-door SUV. DH45090 is a three-piece door handle accent set that includes two front pieces and one rear. HS45090 is listed as a two-piece door handle accent with a cutout, 7 inches wide; its prefix differs from the other handle set, so check its photos to confirm what it covers. For the lower body there are two rocker options: TH45090, a four-piece on-the-rocker trim at 4.25 inches that installs below the door, and TH45091, a two-piece lower kit at 3 inches that spans from the bottom of the door up. WT45090 is a one-piece windshield accent trim at 1.125 inches. Check each listing for its finish and photos.
Polished 304 stainless gives the hinges a bright finish, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cap slim. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight. Afterward, rinse off mud and wash with mild soap and a soft cloth.
Ten model years on one row makes this package straightforward to match: any 2-door Wrangler TJ from 1997 to 2006 is listed. Questions about fit on your TJ? Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention HP45090. The UPC is on the Specs tab.

Installation tips: Hinge Cap Package
- Unpack all 6 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.
