Product Description
Toyota Tacoma 1995-2004 Stainless Tailgate Handle Trim, 2 Pieces (DH95177)
The tailgate is the part of a pickup you see every time you walk to the back, and DH95177 puts polished steel right at its handle. This two-piece tailgate handle accent is listed for the Toyota Tacoma from 1995 through 2004, in both 2-door and 4-door pickup configurations. It's made in the USA from polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge.
Which Tacomas
QAA's fitment row reads: Toyota Tacoma, 1995-2004, 2-door, 4-door, Pickup Truck. That's a ten-year span and both door counts, so most Tacomas from those years should be covered by this listing. Cab and bed details aren't specified on this row. The Fitment tab shows the entry.
Two pieces at the tailgate
The kit has two pieces. The catalog doesn't explain how they divide up around the handle, so look at the product photos to see the layout and compare it with your tailgate. If your handle looks different from the photos, call before ordering.
Material
Type 304 stainless at 26 gauge is thin, so it can follow the shape of the tailgate around the handle. The bright face is polished steel, not a plated finish.
How it attaches
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. No holes to drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.

Note the two rocker kits are split by cab, so match the right one to your truck.
Prep on a tailgate
Tailgates pick up road grime, bed liner overspray and the occasional scrape. Clean the handle area well: wash, rinse, then degrease, and on older paint do it twice to lift built-up wax. Inspect the paint for chips or flaking where the pieces will sit, since the tape bonds to the paint. Let the area dry completely.
Fitting the two pieces
Hold each piece in place with the liner on and check it from a step back, centered on the handle. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, set to the marks, and press firmly along the full length. Give it a second press after a minute. Open and close the tailgate gently to make sure nothing interferes. The Installation tab covers the rest of the prep.
Conditions
Choose a dry, mild day out of direct sun and keep the truck dry overnight.
Care
Wash with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Tailgate 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.
