Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2018 License Bar, 1.375" Polished Stainless (LB55640)
LB55640 is a single 1.375"-wide polished stainless steel bar for the liftgate of a Lincoln MKC, above the rear license plate. The fitment row is the Lincoln MKC 4-door SUV, model years 2015 through 2018. That width figure, an inch and three-eighths, is the most useful number on the listing, because it tells you how prominent the bar will be.
The listing, line by line
Part: License Bar, Above plate accent Trim. Pieces: one. Material: 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, made in the USA. Width: 1.375". Mount: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No notes about cutouts, key access or a camera opening. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Previewing the width
Hold a ruler flat against the liftgate just above the plate and look at a band a bit under an inch and a half tall from where someone behind your MKC would stand. It's a clear, visible accent, wider than a pinstripe. If that look suits the vehicle, the bar will too. The length isn't given, so the product photos show how far it runs.
Is anything in the way?
Because the listing has no cutout notes, check the area above your plate for an emblem, handle, sensor or camera that could sit where the bar goes. Compare it with the photos. If anything doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote LB55640 before you order.
Fitting it
Wash and dry the area, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean. Hold the bar in place, liner on. A wider bar shows any tilt, so run a strip of painter's tape level along where the lower edge will sit and use it as a guide. Center the bar by measuring to each side of the plate. Peel the liner, rest the bar on the guide, and press firmly along its length. Remove the guide and press again. Close the liftgate gently for the first day. The Installation tab gives temperature guidance.
Front and back
The only other part cross-listed for this MKC is SG55640, a one-piece front grille accent noted Logo Surround. It sits at the front of the vehicle, this bar at the back, so they can be used together. Check its listing's photos for finish before ordering both.
Confirm the year
Before ordering, make sure your MKC's year falls in the 2015 to 2018 row.
Paint condition
An MKC from these years may have small chips, wax buildup or residue from a dealer badge around the plate. The tape bonds best to clean, sound paint, so inspect the area in good light, clear any old adhesive carefully, and fix flaking paint before you begin. A second alcohol wipe takes a minute and is worth doing.
Upkeep
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. Keep scouring pads and gritty polish away from it. The Fitment and Specs tabs repeat the vehicle row and the UPC.

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.
