Product Description
2011-2015 Ford Explorer Chrome Mirror Cover Pair (MC51330)
MC51330 gives the outside mirrors of a 2011 to 2015 Ford Explorer a chrome finish. The listing covers one vehicle and one body style, the 4-door SUV, across those five model years, and the title says the same.
Two pieces, one bullet to watch
The set is two covers, molded from ABS plastic with a polished chrome plating and imported. Alongside the material line, the listing carries a one-word bullet: "Full." The catalog doesn't define it. It could refer to coverage, but the record doesn't say so, and it gives no dimensions and no mention of a turn signal opening. Take the photos as the reference. If a lamp, a camera or an unusual contour sits on your mirror housings, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
How it attaches
On the 2011-2015 Explorer, each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, with no screws, clips or brackets. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the SUV's surface.
The rear deck accent on the same sheet
One other part is linked to this Explorer: RD51330, a 1-piece Rear Deck Accent, listed at 2.25 inches. It is listed as a rear deck accent for this SUV. The catalog doesn't spell out its exact position at the rear, so look at RD51330's photos to see where it goes before ordering it. It's sold separately, with its material and mounting on its own page. About your Explorer, phone 877-752-3811 and quote MC51330.
Who should order
The Explorer row is the only fitment row, so the questions are simple. Is your Explorer a 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015? Is it the 4-door SUV? Do your mirrors look like the ones in the photos? If yes on all three, the set is listed for you. Keep the Explorer's year handy; the listing covers 2011 to 2015.
Getting the fit right
Prep comes first. Look over both housings and repair any chips, cracks or flaking paint, since the tape grips whatever finish is there. Wash with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove wax.
Then do a dry run. Before mounting, hold the cover against the mirror and look from the front of the Explorer and through the window from inside. Adjust until the gap around the edges looks even, and mark the spot with painter's tape. Line the cover up with your marks and press firmly along every edge so the 3M tape bonds well. Repeat with the second cover and compare both from straight ahead.
The Installation tab has the complete steps and the temperature range the tape needs. A dry, mild day works best. Keep the Explorer out of rain and the first wash until the bond has had time to settle.
Chrome care
Clean the Explorer's covers with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Rubbing compounds, abrasive pads and harsh chemicals can haze or scratch the plating, so keep them away.

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.
