Product Description
Ford Thunderbird 2002-2006 Plain Stainless Door Sill Trim, No Cut Out, 2 Pieces (DS43670)
If you want polished sills on a Thunderbird without any lettering or logo, DS43670 is the plain version. It's a two-piece door sill set for the 2002-2006 Ford Thunderbird, listed for both the coupe and convertible, and the catalog states it "Does not include Cut Out." The steel is 304 stainless at 26 gauge, polished, made in the USA.
Three sill options for this car
QAA lists three two-piece Thunderbird sill sets, and the cut out is what separates them:
- DS43670 (this one): no cut out.
- DS43671: includes a logo cut out.
- DS43672: includes a DTR cut out.
Pick the look you like. The photos on each listing show the difference.

About sill trim
The sill is the threshold at the bottom of each door opening. A sill trim plate covers it with a polished surface, one per door on this two-door car.
Mounting
Each plate has 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, with no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Prep the thresholds
Vacuum, then wash, rinse and degrease each sill. Strip off any vinyl dressing; the tape needs a clean, bare surface. Check that the paint is sound, then let it dry fully.
Placement
With no cut out to line up, the job is about centering. Hold the plate on the sill with the liner on, check the gap at each end, and mark both ends with painter's tape. Peel, align, and press firmly the whole length. Press again a minute later. Do the second plate the same way and compare the two. The Installation tab covers full prep.
Why go plain
A plate without lettering keeps the door opening simple: a clean polished strip and nothing else. It suits owners who prefer the bright metal to speak for itself, or who already have badging elsewhere on the car. Like the other two versions, it sits flat on the threshold, so the doors close as before.
Material
Type 304 stainless at 26 gauge, polished, so the shine is the steel itself.
Before ordering
Confirm a 2002-2006 Thunderbird, decide between plain, logo, or DTR, and check the photos. No size is listed; call if you want to confirm fit.
Afterward
Keep off the plates until the next day. Mild, dry weather is best.
Care
Mild soap and a soft towel. No abrasives.

Installation tips: Door Sill trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
