Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2019 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP55640)
Is LP55640 right for your Lincoln? If it's an MKC 4-door SUV built for model years 2015 through 2019, the catalog says yes. That single row, five years long, is the whole fitment story; there are no trim restrictions or footnotes. The bezel is one polished stainless piece meant to frame the plate area.
Where this page gets interesting is the MKC's list of linked parts, which runs to ten. Several come in multiple versions, so it helps to see them laid out.
- Pillar posts: PP55640 with four pieces, PP55641 with six, and PP55642 with ten. What pillars each kit covers isn't spelled out on the sheet.
- Side accents: AT55640, a six-piece Body Side Molding Accent Trim listed at 1.5-1.75", and MI55640, a six-piece Body Molding Insert Trim Kit at 1.25-1.75". Both carry ranges rather than a single width, and neither record explains the range, so check their photos.
- Single pieces: BL55640, a Brake Light Surround Trim, and GC55640, a Gas Door Cover Trim.
- Linked by number only: RD55640, TH55640 and TR55640. This sheet carries no details for them.
Finish and mounting for every one of those are on their own listings. Anything going near the plate should be held up with the bezel before either is installed.
The bezel is made of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished, and made in the USA. Unlike plated trim, it has no surface coating to wear or peel. The record gives no dimensions, so the product photos are the best way to check shape against your own MKC.
LP55640 mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface. Drilling isn't part of the job. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. For that bond to do its work, the paint below has to be intact, so take care of chips or peeling clear coat first.
Preparation is mostly cleaning. Lift away old adhesive or sticker remnants, wash, let everything dry, and wipe the area with rubbing alcohol to remove wax. Hold the bezel in place with its liner on and look at it from a distance; mark the position with painter's tape once it sits evenly. Then peel, place it on the marks and press firmly around the edge. The Installation tab lists the steps and the temperature range the tape works in. A dry, mild day is ideal, and the bond should be left alone for a while before the first wash.
The MKC needs to be a 2015 to 2019; include any plate frame in the dry fit. Mild soap and a soft cloth handle cleaning afterward. Questions? Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give SKU LP55640.
Why start with the bezel? It's a single piece with no hardware, so it's a quick way to see how the mirror polish looks on your MKC before committing to a multi-piece kit like the pillar posts or the side accents. Any later trim on the MKC can take its spacing from the bezel.

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.
