Product Description
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011-2013 Stainless Tailgate Handle Trim, 2 Pieces (DH51080)
DH51080 is a two-piece tailgate handle accent trim in polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2011 through 2013. QAA's product page and the Fitment tab both list that one vehicle, the 4-door SUV. It installs directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so there is nothing to drill and nothing to remove.
Checking your Grand Cherokee
The listing covers three model years: 2011, 2012 and 2013. If your Grand Cherokee falls in that span, compare the rear handle area with the product photos before you order. For any other year, or if the handle area on your Jeep looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your year, make and model first.
What accent trim does
Tailgate handle accent trim is flat bright metal that frames the area around the rear handle. It does not replace or cover the handle itself; it outlines it. At the back of a Grand Cherokee, where the liftgate handle sits in plain view, that frame catches the eye and looks finished.
Two pieces
The set has two pieces. The catalog does not describe how they divide the space around the handle, so compare them with the product photos and hold each up to the liftgate before you commit. There are no key-access or camera notes on this listing either, so check the photos against anything mounted near your handle.
Stainless, not plating
The trim is solid 304 stainless steel, a common grade valued for its bright, clean finish. The thin 26-gauge piece sits low against the surface, and QAA polishes it to a mirror shine.
Installing the trim
For both pieces, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the vehicle's surface. Here is the routine:
- Wash the area around the liftgate handle.
- Degrease it and let it dry completely.
- Dry-fit both pieces with the liners on and mark their spots with painter's tape.
- Peel the liners, place each piece on its mark, and press firmly for several seconds.
More prep detail sits under the Installation tab.
Lining it up by eye
Accent trim looks best when it sits evenly around the handle with matching gaps on each side. Stand directly behind the vehicle at eye level while you dry-fit, rather than looking down at an angle, and adjust until the reveal looks even across both pieces. Only then peel the liners.
Pairing it with other trim
QAA lists LP51080 for the same Grand Cherokee years. Each part is sold on its own listing, so check that page for its piece count and mounting before planning a matching look around the back.
Timing
Choose a mild, dry day out of direct sun. If the paint has recent wax, degrease twice. Close the liftgate gently and keep the Jeep out of the rain overnight.
Keeping it polished
Wash with mild soap and dry with a soft towel. Abrasive pads can dull polished stainless.

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.
