Product Description
Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego 2005-2007 Chrome Mirror Cover Set (MC45490)
MC45490 is a two-piece chrome Mirror Cover Set for two sedans that share a year range: the Ford Five Hundred and the Mercury Montego, each listed as a 4-door sedan from 2005 through 2007. Both rows cover three model years with no exclusions. The title names the two cars without years, so check those on the Fitment tab.
One other part is linked: TB45490, a one-piece Trunk Bar Trim for the same sedans. Its listing describes its own material and mounting; this page doesn't, beyond noting it's there.
The record for the covers has no notes. No turn signal cut out is mentioned, coverage isn't described and dimensions aren't listed. The catalog also doesn't say whether the Five Hundred and Montego mirrors are identical, although one set is listed for both. That puts the product photos in charge of your decision. Compare them with your own mirrors, especially if there's anything on the housing a cover could sit over, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with the SKU, your model and your year if there's any doubt.
What you'd be getting: two covers molded from ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished, and imported. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
On a sedan from these years, the mirror housings are worth inspecting before anything is stuck to them. Tape bonds to the finish, so chips, fading or flaking clear coat should be repaired first. After that comes a thorough clean: soap and water, a full dry, and a rubbing alcohol wipe to remove wax and road film.
Positioning is where patience pays. Hold one cover against its mirror, compare it with the photos, and look at it from in front of the car and from the side. When it sits where the photos show, mark it with a few small strips of painter's tape. Set it on the marks, and press firmly along every edge. Repeat on the other mirror and compare the two from a few steps back. The Installation tab has the full sequence and the temperature range the tape needs. A dry, mild day gives the adhesive its best start, and the car should stay out of the wash for a while afterward.
Chrome plating keeps its look with gentle care: mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Abrasive pads, polishing compounds and harsh chemicals can dull it.
Make sure the Five Hundred's model and year show up in the rows. Two covers and no hardware make the job short. Mention MC45490 when you call 877-752-3811.
Why do two different badges share one set? The catalog simply lists both sedans on separate rows with the same years and doesn't explain further, so we won't either. What it means in practice is that the listing can't show your exact mirror, which is why the photo comparison and, if needed, a phone call come before the order.

Installation tips: Mirror Cover Set
- 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, 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.
