Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2019 Tapered Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 6 Pieces (MI55640)
MI55640 is a six-piece molding insert kit for the Lincoln MKC 4-door SUV, 2015 through 2019. Its polished 304 stainless strips taper from 1.25 inches to 1.75 inches, a half-inch change from one end to the other, so getting the direction right is part of the install.
Taper and direction
The catalog gives the two end widths but doesn't say which end faces forward or which strip goes where. The product photos are the reference for both. Compare them with the moldings on your MKC, and measure the flat face of a molding near each end; the readings should accommodate 1.25 and 1.75 inches. If the shape or numbers don't line up, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI55640.
Fitment
Lincoln MKC, 2015 to 2019, 4-door SUV. Single row; the title agrees. MKC years for this set are 2015 to 2019. Questions about the MKC can go to 877-752-3811, quoting MI55640.
Material
On the MKC, the six inserts are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. They're held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing moldings, so nothing on the Lincoln is drilled; prep is on the Installation tab.
An accent trim with a similar taper
AT55640, on the same sheet, is a 6-piece body side molding accent trim with a tapered width of 1.5-1.75. Same vehicle, same piece count, overlapping widths, but a different part type. The catalog doesn't explain whether the two are alternatives or how they relate. Look at the photos of both before choosing, and call if it's not clear which suits you.
Install
Lay out the six strips by the photos and mark each liner with its position and an arrow toward the 1.75 inch end. Check the moldings for cracks, lifting ends or old adhesive and fix those first. Wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit each strip with the liner on and confirm the taper follows the molding. Mark both ends with painter's tape. Peel and press firmly from the wide end toward the narrow end. After every strip, step back and check that the line looks continuous. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
Other MKC parts linked
BL55640 is a 1-piece brake light surround trim. GC55640 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim, and LP55640 a 1-piece license plate bezel. Pillar posts come in three sets: PP55640 at 4 pieces, PP55641 at 6, and PP55642 at 10. RD55640, TH55640 and TR55640 are cross-listed by number only.
Why moldings first
If you're planning several MKC parts, the molding inserts are a manageable starting point: six pieces, one tape method, and no windows or lights to work around. Getting a feel for the 3M tape here makes larger pieces easier later.
Molding condition
These strips sit on top of the MKC's existing moldings, so sort out any molding that's cracked, loose or different from the photos before you order.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep polished stainless clean. Keep abrasive pads and steel wool off it. Questions? 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
