Product Description
Ford Taurus X 2008-2009 Full Kit, Doors Only, 8.478"-9.25" Tapered, 4 Pieces (TH48355)
TH48355 is a tall Full Kit for the Ford Taurus X, tagged "4-door, Crossover SUV," model years 2008-2009. Four polished stainless steel pieces fill the band "from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," with the width given as 8.478" - 9.25" tapered and the note "On the Doors only."
Close to nine inches tall
This kit covers a lot of door: somewhere between about eight and a half and nine and a quarter inches, from the molding down to the bottom edge. The record doesn't say which end is taller or whether each piece tapers or the taper runs across the side. Before ordering, measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door at both ends of a front door and a rear door, and compare.
Doors only
The steel stays on the four doors. Nothing extends to the fenders or the body behind the rear doors.
The molding must be there
A Full Kit's top edge meets the molding. If molding is missing, loose, or replaced with a different profile on any door, the top line won't work as designed. Call 877-752-3811 with photos before ordering. Molding isn't included.
Four big pieces
Four pieces and four doors, but the data doesn't state the assignment. Check the product photos and label each liner.
Material
The four Taurus X door strips are cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless and run from the molding to the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the 2008-2009 crossover.
Prep a large area
Wash each door from the molding to the edge, rinse, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol in overlapping passes. Inspect the lower edges for chips.
Installing tall pieces
Hold each piece between the molding and the door bottom with several strips of painter's tape. Close the door and check the gaps. Then peel the liner a few inches at a time, pressing from the center outward across the face as you go, and finish with firm pressure everywhere.
Linked Taurus X parts
PP48355 pillar posts (noted "Includes keyless entry touch pad"), PP48356 pillar posts, RD48355 rear deck accent at 2.938", and WQ48355 wheel well accent trim.
After
Open each door fully and check that the top edges follow the molding. Wait a day before washing.
Help
Large pieces really do need two people.
Before ordering
Taurus X, 2008 or 2009, molding on all four doors, and a measured band between about eight and a half and nine and a quarter inches from the molding to the door bottom. If your numbers fall outside that, or differ a lot between front and rear doors, send them with a photo to 877-752-3811 first.
Care
After a day, mild soap and water. No abrasive pads on a polished surface this large.
Taurus X spacing
Measure each Taurus X position from the door gaps and keep it consistent.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 4 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.
