Product Description
Ford Thunderbird 2002-2006 Stainless Door Sill Trim with Logo Cut Out, 2 Pieces (DS43671)
DS43671 puts a logo cut out into polished stainless sill plates for the 2002-2006 Ford Thunderbird. The two-piece set is listed for both the coupe and the convertible, and it's made in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge.
Logo, plain, or DTR
This is one of three Thunderbird sill sets. The catalog notes are the difference:
- DS43670: does not include a cut out.
- DS43671 (this listing): includes a logo cut out.
- DS43672: includes a DTR cut out.
The catalog doesn't describe the logo's design in text, so the product photos are where to see it. If you'd like it confirmed before buying, call us.
Which Thunderbirds
One row: Ford Thunderbird, 2002-2006, 2-door, Coupe, Convertible. Five model years, both body styles. Details are on the Fitment tab.
What you're covering
The sill is the threshold at the bottom of each door opening. These plates sit on top of it, one per door, with the logo cut through the polished steel.
Material
Polished 304 stainless at 26 gauge. It's a thin sheet with a bright face that's the steel itself, not plating.
Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each plate, and they install directly over the existing surface. No drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Coordinating the rest of the car
If you're dressing up more than the sills, this sheet cross-lists SG43670 front grille accent, the ML43670 eight-piece surround ring package (door handles, fog lights, and front and rear marker lights), WS43670 window sill trim, the TH43668 body side molding accent at 0.75, and the TH43669 rocker trim that installs below the door at 4.5. TH43670 and HL43670 are listed as well, with details on their own pages.
Prep
Clean sills are essential. Vacuum the grit, wash, rinse and degrease. Remove any protectant completely. Make sure the paint is firmly attached, then let everything dry.
Lining up the logo
Centering matters more on a plate with a cut out, since the eye goes straight to it. With the liner still on, hold the plate on the sill and check that the logo sits where you want it and reads the right way. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, align, and press firmly end to end, then again a minute later. Fit the second plate and compare them from the same angle with both doors open. The Installation tab has full steps.
Ordering checklist
Confirm a 2002-2006 Thunderbird, make sure the logo version is the one you want, and check the photos. No size is listed.
Why a logo plate
The sill is the first thing you see when the door opens. A cut out logo there makes the opening feel finished.
Afterward
Step over the plates rather than on them until tomorrow. Choose mild, dry weather.
Care
Mild soap with a soft towel keeps them clean.

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.
