Product Description
Ford Escape 2013-2016 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP53360)
LP53360 frames the plate area of the Ford Escape 4-door SUV, model years 2013 through 2016. It is one polished stainless piece, and its single fitment row lists four model years with no trim exclusions. Four other parts are linked to it on the catalog, and two details on those linked records matter when you're deciding what to buy.
First, the license bar. LB53360 is a two-piece License Bar Extension Trim for the same Escape. Its width field reads "1-0.625", which doesn't tell us which dimension is which, and the catalog never says what the extension trim extends or how it sits next to the bezel. Since both parts are named for the plate area, compare their photos side by side, and if you order both, hold them in place together before peeling any backing. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if the relationship isn't clear.
Second, the grille overlays. SG53360 is an eight-piece Front Grille Accent Trim described as an overlay package, full set, with adhesive promoter. SG53361 is a two-piece center-piece set and SG53362 a six-piece vent cover set, both also with adhesive promoter. That adhesive promoter note is on the grille parts only. The bezel's record doesn't mention a promoter; it lists 3M tape. So don't assume the grille instructions carry over to the bezel.
About the bezel itself: it's 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA, with no plating to chip. No dimensions are published for it, so let the product photos show you its outline.
It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, no drilling involved. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The tape bonds to paint, so start by looking the plate area over. Repair any chipping or peeling clear coat. Remove old adhesive and sticker residue, wash with soap and water, dry thoroughly, then wipe with rubbing alcohol to lift any remaining wax.
Do a dry fit before you peel. Hold the bezel in place, back away until you can see the whole rear of the SUV, and adjust until the margins look even. Mark it with a few strips of painter's tape. Peel the backing, line up with the marks and press firmly along every edge, then remove the guide strips. The Installation tab covers the sequence and the temperature range.
Check the Escape is a 2013 to 2016 and look at the photos with your own plate area in front of you. If you use a plate frame, include it in the dry fit. After installation, care is simple: mild soap, water and a soft cloth, and no abrasive pads. Mention SKU LP53360 when you call 877-752-3811.
Timing helps too. Work on a dry, mild day so the tape bonds within the range the Installation tab gives, and let the cleaned surface dry completely first. After pressing the bezel on, give it time before the first wash. The Specs tab lists the UPC if you need it.

Installation tips: License Plate Bezel
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
