Product Description
Chrome Mirror Covers for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape (MC48320)
MC48320 is a two-piece chrome mirror cover set listed for the Ford Escape, model years 2008 through 2012. The catalog tags the fitment row as a 4-door SUV, and that single row is the whole list. No other Escape years, and no other Ford models, appear on this record.
What the record tells us
Each cover is molded from ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished, and the set is imported. You get two covers. Mounting is by 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.
What the record does not include matters just as much. There are no notes on this set, so the catalog does not say whether the covers leave room for a turn signal lamp, whether they wrap the full housing or only the outer shell, or what they measure. No width is given either. The product photos are the best guide here.
A quick fitment check for Escape owners
- Confirm your model year falls between 2008 and 2012. The row covers 2008 to 2012 Escapes, so check yours.
- Look at your mirror housings. If yours carry a lamp, a camera or a shape that doesn't match the photos, call before ordering.
- Have the SKU ready when you phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Parts listed alongside it
Two other parts are linked to this Escape on the catalog: PP48320, a 4-piece Pillar Post Trim, and PP48321, a 6-piece Pillar Post Trim. Both are tagged 4-door SUV. Those are separate listings with their own pages, and the details for each, including what they are made of, live there rather than here. Thinking about pillar trim for the Escape later? Read each kit's page before picking a piece count.
Fitting the covers
They're small parts in a spot everyone looks at, so take a few more minutes over alignment. Start by inspecting the mirror housings. Chipped or flaking paint should be repaired first, because the tape bonds to whatever surface is under it. Wash each housing with soap and water, dry it, then wipe it down with rubbing alcohol to lift wax.
Hold the first cover in place by hand and check the edges from a few angles. When it sits right, mark the position with a couple of strips of painter's tape. Line the cover up with your marks and press it down firmly all the way around. Fit the second cover and compare the two from the front of the vehicle.
The Installation tab covers the full steps and the temperature range the tape needs. Choose a dry day, and give the bond time before rain or the first wash.
Looking after chrome
Use mild soap, plain water and a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads, rubbing compounds and strong solvents, which can haze or scratch the plating. Pick the covers up by their edges while you work so fingerprints don't end up under your marks.

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.
