Gledewen Backup Camera Tailgate Handle for Silverado

Gledewen's tailgate handle with integrated backup camera replaces your original handle to restore tailgate function while giving a 170° waterproof rear view for safer reversing.

This all-in-one tailgate handle and rear camera assembly is built to fit select Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks (2007–2014 model years listed). It combines a direct-fit external tailgate handle with a removable 170° wide‑angle camera, an 8-meter RCA video extension, and OEM-style mounting so you can swap it in without major modification. Designed for 12–24V systems and rated IP67, the unit is intended to withstand road grime, rain, and typical truck use.

Will this replace my truck’s original tailgate handle and camera?

Yes — the Gledewen unit is made to match the OEM tailgate handle footprint for the specified Silverado and Sierra model years. The camera module can be removed independently, so you can replace only the camera or just the handle if needed.

• Direct-fit for 2007–2013 Silverado 1500 and 2007–2014 Silverado 2500/3500
• Fits 2007–2013 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2007–2014 Sierra 2500/3500
• Removable camera module for separate replacement
• Includes mounting screws and an OEM-style plug pattern

How does installation work and what tools are required?

Installation follows the same steps as a standard tailgate handle swap: remove the old handle, route the supplied 8M RCA cable, and wire the camera’s power to the reverse light circuit. No vehicle-specific programming is required; you simply connect video to a compatible monitor or factory screen with an RCA input.

• Connect camera power to reversing light for automatic activation
• Use the included 8-meter RCA cable for video to head unit or monitor
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, panel tools, wrench) are sufficient
• Works with 12–24V electrical systems

What image quality and viewing features does the camera provide?

The camera offers a 170° wide viewing angle with a mirrored image option for natural reversing orientation and enhanced situational awareness. It includes night-vision capability to improve low-light visibility, delivering a clear feed to help with parking, hitching, and backing in tight spots.

• 170° wide-angle lens for broad rear coverage
• Night-vision support for low-light reversing
• Mirror image output compatible with standard reverse-view displays
• High-purity resin housing and reinforced ABS handle for durability

Is it durable and weatherproof for daily truck use?

The assembly is engineered for harsh road conditions: the camera housing meets IP67-level protection and the tailgate handle uses reinforced ABS with a treated surface. The supplied RCA cable is sheathed in PA plastic bellows to resist oil, coolant, and acidic exposure for long-term reliability.

• IP67-rated camera housing resists water and dust
• PA-plastic bellows-protected 8M RCA cable for chemical resistance
• Reinforced ABS handle with surface treatment for wear resistance
• 24-month warranty and replacement/refund support

Who is this for? If you own a compatible 2007–2014 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra and need to restore a broken tailgate handle, add or replace a factory-style backup camera, or upgrade to a durable waterproof reversing solution, this Gledewen tailgate handle camera kit provides a direct-fit, maintenance-friendly option. It suits DIY installers and technicians who want OEM-style fitment, wide-angle rear coverage, and a weatherproof build backed by a two-year warranty.
