Product Description
Ford Fusion 2013-2016 License Bar, Placed Under the Logo (LB53390)
Most of QAA's license bars carry no placement note at all. LB53390 has one, and it's short: Under the logo. That's where this single polished stainless bar sits on a 2013-2016 Ford Fusion sedan: below the car's logo, above the plate. It is cataloged as License Bar, Above plate accent Trim, one piece.
Making sense of "under the logo"
Because the note names a reference point, the logo does the hard part of placement for you. During the dry fit, center the bar under the logo and check that it also sits sensibly above the plate. The catalog gives no width or length, so the product photos are the reference for proportions. If the logo on your Fusion has been removed or the area looks different from the photos, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LB53390 before ordering.
Material and attachment
For the 2013-2016 Fusion, the bar is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA. It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with no drilling, and QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan's surface.
Which Fusion
The fitment row is the Ford Fusion 4-door sedan, model years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. QAA lists other license bars for the Fusion in other year ranges, so match your year carefully. Check that your Fusion's year falls within that span, and call 877-752-3811 if it's outside it.
Installing
Wash the area under the logo and above the plate, rinse and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol, including along the bottom edge of the logo, where polish residue collects. Hold the bar in place with the liner on. Use the logo's center as your center mark, and keep the bar parallel to the logo's bottom edge. Step back to check, then mark both ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align, and press firmly from the center outward. Remove the marks and press again. Close the trunk gently for the first day. The Installation tab gives the temperature range.
One related part
The sheet cross-lists TR53390, a four-piece tail light ring accent trim, for the same Fusion sedan. For brightwork on the back of the Fusion, that's the other part QAA lists for this range on the sheet. Check its photos for finish and fit.
Before the tape goes on
Look at the paint where the bar will sit. Chips, lifting clear coat or residue from an old dealer sticker will weaken the bond. Clean off residue carefully and fix flaking paint first.
Why a placement note helps
With a plain bar and no note, you're choosing the height yourself. Here the catalog anchors it to the logo, so the job becomes centering and leveling rather than deciding where it should go. That makes it a straightforward bar to fit, provided the logo is where the photos show it.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel keep it bright. Avoid scouring pads.

Installation tips: License Bar, Above plate accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
