Product Description
Stainless Tailgate Accent for the 2003-2009 Hummer H2, 1 Piece (HV43010)
The Hummer H2 is an SUV, but QAA's catalog names the rear panel part a Tailgate Accent Trim, and HV43010 is that piece: a single polished stainless accent for the back of the H2 4-door SUV, model years 2003 through 2009. It is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish.
One piece, one placement
The catalog gives the piece count and the part type but no width or position note, so we can't tell you exactly where on the rear the accent sits or how far it spans. The product photos show it installed, and that is the reference to use. Before ordering, compare the back of your H2 with those photos and make sure nothing there has changed, such as a different spare tire setup or aftermarket badges. If you're unsure, call.
Single-piece advantages
With only one piece, there's no sorting, no sequence, and no matching. That makes HV43010 one of the simplest stainless installs on the H2 list and a good way to see how the polished finish looks on your paint before taking on a bigger kit.
Mounting details
The accent mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. There's nothing to drill and nothing to remove. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Here's a straightforward approach. Wash the rear of the SUV, then wipe the mounting area with rubbing alcohol to strip any wax. Let it dry. Hold the accent in place with the liner on and check it from a few steps back: it should look level and centered. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, line up with your marks, and press firmly along the full length, then once more from end to end. Give the tape time to bond before the first wash. The Installation tab has temperature guidance.
Coordinating the rear
The H2 sheet lists several other parts for the back of the vehicle. HV43001 is the eight-piece set of "HUMMER" rear bumper letters with two accent pieces. HV43012 is a three-piece rear bumper accent noted "Includes Cut Out for HUMMER logo." HV43005 is a one-piece license plate bezel, and HV43016 is a fourteen-piece tail light ring package. The rear deck "H2" emblem kits, HV43020 and HV43026, are also listed; HV43020 is noted "Polished & Brushed Stainless Steel" and HV43026 "Polished Stainless Steel." Check each listing's photos before ordering.
Fitment
One fitment row: the Hummer H2, 4-door SUV, 2003-2009, seven years, no trim exclusions. Your H2's year needs to fall in that span, so confirm it on the registration, and call us if it doesn't.
Keeping it bright
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Polished stainless doesn't need special products, but abrasive pads will scratch it.

Installation tips: Tailgate Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
