How do I prepare the surface for installation?

Clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water, then wipe it down with an alcohol-based cleaner. This will remove any dirt, wax, or grease that could prevent the 3M tape from adhering properly. Make sure the surface is completely dry before applying the cover.

Will this cover fade or discolor over time?

The automotive-grade ABS chrome is designed to withstand the elements and resist fading or discoloration. Regular cleaning with a mild soap and water solution will help maintain its shine and prevent buildup of dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can scratch the surface.

Is this just for the lower section of the tailgate handle?

Yes, this Putco 401401 cover is designed to fit the lower section of the tailgate handle only. Putco also makes a version that covers both the base and handle, if you want to upgrade both.
