Product Description
DH60360 Stainless Handle Accents for the Ford Escape, with an Explorer Row Too (2020-2026)
Four pieces of polished stainless steel, cut for the door handles of a 2020-2026 Ford Escape: that's the short version of DH60360. The longer version involves the fitment data, which lists a second Ford alongside the Escape, and it's worth a look before you buy.
Two Fords in the data
The title names the Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer. QAA's fitment rows list the same two vehicles, both 2020-2026 and both tagged 4-door SUV:
- Ford Escape
- Ford Explorer
The catalog doesn't say how one set of four accents suits two SUVs of different sizes, and we've flagged that question for review. For an Escape or an Explorer, please compare the photos with your handles and call before ordering if the shape looks off. The Fitment tab lists both rows.
Material, gauge, origin
The accents are 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge with a polished face, made in the USA. Stainless gets its shine from the metal itself rather than a plated coating, and the thin gauge helps each piece follow the shape of the door around the handle.
Accent trim, briefly
An accent piece lays a polished line at the Escape's handle instead of covering the whole handle. Where exactly each of the four sits isn't described in the catalog, so the photos are the guide.
Key and sensor openings
No notes on openings appear in this listing. Check the photos if your handles have touch sensors or a key cylinder you need to keep clear.
On the back
On the Escape or Explorer, the four accents mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage to the SUV's surface.
Putting them on
- Soap-and-water wash around each handle, then a degreaser wipe.
- Full dry time, including seams and edges.
- Liner-on dry fit, with painter's tape marking the corners.
- Peel, set on the marks, press firmly end to end, and press again after a minute.
The Installation tab goes into prep in more detail.
Checklist before you buy
First, confirm your SUV's year sits between 2020 and 2026. Second, confirm whether it's an Escape or an Explorer, and call if it's the Explorer. Third, compare your handles with the photos and decide whether you're after a slim accent rather than a full cover. Fourth, think about openings: if a touch sensor or keyhole has to stay clear, the photos should show it before you order.
Even spacing
Do a front door and the rear door behind it first, then step back and compare the front and rear accents. When they look right, match the remaining pieces to them.
Pick the right day
Mild, dry and shaded is ideal. Cold panels and sun-hot panels both make foam tape harder to seat. Keep the vehicle dry overnight, and degrease twice on recently waxed paint.
Ongoing care
Wash with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool and abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- 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.
