Product Description
Ford Taurus 2010-2019 Stainless Molding Insert Kit With Point Contoured Ends (MI50490)
MI50490's record has a shape note: "with point contoured ends." The kit is four polished 304 stainless strips, 1 inch wide, for the Ford Taurus 4-door sedan from 2010 through 2019. The pointed ends are what you'll want to compare against your own moldings before you buy.
About the pointed ends
The catalog says the ends are point contoured but doesn't describe the angle or say whether both ends of every strip are pointed. The product photos show the shape. Look at the ends of the moldings on your Taurus. If they come to a point in a similar way, the strips should follow them; if your moldings end square or look different from the pictures, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about MI50490 before ordering.
Fit
Ford Taurus, 2010 to 2019, 4-door sedan. That's the only row, and the title shows the same span. The Taurus row spans 2010 to 2019, so check your sedan's year on the registration before ordering.
Material and mounting
26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. The strips mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go directly over the existing surface; there's no drilling. The record doesn't assign a door to each strip; follow the photos.
Lining up a pointed end
Shaped ends make the dry fit more important than usual. After washing, drying and alcohol-wiping each molding, hold a strip in place with its liner on and slide it until its point sits over the molding's point. Check the other end the same way. Mark both ends with painter's tape, then peel, set and press firmly, starting in the middle and working out to each point so the tips bond fully. Repeat for the rest, and step back to compare all four. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
Linked Taurus parts
Six other parts share the sedan tag. Three pillar post sets, PP50490, PP50491 and PP50492 at 4, 6 and 8 pieces, each note that they include the keyless entry touch pad. TH50490 is an 8-piece rocker panel lower kit spanning from the bottom of the door up to a width of 1.125-1.625. Two wheel well accent trims are listed: WQ50490, 6 pieces, noted "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately," and WQ50491, 6 pieces, noted "Full Length." If the rocker kit is in your plans, read both wheel well listings closely before choosing, and call if it's unclear.
Molding check
Repair any cracked or lifting molding and remove old adhesive first; the tape needs a clean, sound surface. Measure one molding's flat face with a ruler and compare it with 1 inch and with the photos. If the face is narrower, or the molding has been replaced with one that looks different, call before ordering.
Care
Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth, wiping along the strip rather than across the points so a cloth doesn't catch a tip. Avoid steel wool and abrasive pads. Questions? 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim 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.
