Product Description
Ford Crown Victoria 9-Piece Stainless Door Handle Trim Set, 1998-2009 Sedan (DH38360)
Nine pieces is an unusual count for a four-door car, and it is the main thing to know about DH38360. This is the larger of the two door handle accent sets QAA lists for the 1998-2009 Ford Crown Victoria four-door sedan. It is made in the USA from polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and installs over the existing surface.
Nine pieces versus four
The smaller set, DH38361, has four pieces and carries the note "Pulls only." This nine-piece set has no note in the catalog, so the data does not spell out what each of the nine pieces covers. The product photos are the best way to see the full layout. If you want just the pulls, the four-piece kit is the simpler choice; if you want the more complete look the larger set offers, start here and check the photos or call us to confirm what is included before you order.
Twelve model years
The fitment row covers the Crown Victoria from 1998 through 2009 as a 4-door sedan, twelve model years in total. That long run means a lot of cars share this listing. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as QAA records it, with the four-piece sibling alongside.
Made from 304 stainless
Type 304 is a common, durable stainless grade. QAA rolls it thin, to 26 gauge, so each accent lies close to the door, and polishes it to a bright mirror finish. The trim is made in the USA.
Mounting
Every piece uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. With nine pieces to place, it helps to be organized:
- Lay out all nine pieces and match each to its spot using the photos.
- Wash and degrease every handle area, then let it dry.
- With its liner left on, test each piece in place.
- Peel and press firmly, one piece at a time.
You'll find more prep detail on the Installation tab.
Why dress the handles
On any daily driver, the handle area takes the most contact from hands, keys, and rings, so it tends to show wear first. Polished stainless gives that spot a fresh, bright look while the original handles keep working the same way.
Choose before you peel
Once the tape is pressed down, it is meant to stay. Take a minute to hold each piece in place and look at it from a few steps back before committing, especially the pieces that do not go directly on a pull.
Working in good conditions
Tape bonds best on a clean, dry, mild-temperature surface. Pick a day out of direct sun and avoid rain for the rest of the day. If the car lives outside, a garage or carport for the install afternoon is worth arranging, since nine pieces take a little longer than a small kit.
Care
Let the tape settle before the first wash. After that, wash and dry normally with a soft cloth.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 9 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 directly over the existing surface, 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.
