Product Description
TH55317: Sensor Cut-Out Upper Kit, 2015-2020 F-150 Crew Cab 5.5 Bed, 12 Pieces at 4.5"
TH55317 is the cut-out version for the 2015-2020 Ford F-150 4-door Crew Cab pickup with the 5.5 bed. Its note reads "With Cut out for side sensor under mirrors." The twelve polished stainless steel pieces are 4.5" wide and run "from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Three questions to answer first
- Is it a 4-door Crew Cab? Super Cab and Regular Cab trucks have their own kits.
- Is the bed the 5.5? The Crew Cab 6.5 bed cut-out kit is TH55306.
- Is there a sensor below each mirror? If not, TH55316 is the same kit with no cut-out note.
Three yeses mean this is the kit the record describes.
What the record doesn't say
It doesn't name the sensor, list the trims that have one, or show where the opening sits on its piece. The product photos show the cut-out. Compare them with your truck rather than relying on trim names.
Polished stainless
The twelve Crew Cab 5.5 bed pieces, with the cut out for the side sensor, are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, fixed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Insert kit for this cab and bed
MI55316, twelve pieces at 1.5" and noted "Upper," is listed for the Crew Cab with the 5.5' bed. Check its listing for finish and fit notes.
Start at the sensor
Fit the cut-out pieces first, where the photos show them. Tape it up dry and look straight at the opening: the sensor should sit fully inside it with no steel overlapping. That piece then sets the height for the rest of the row.
Cleaning around it
Wash gently near the sensor with a soft cloth and soapy water. Rinse, dry, and use isopropyl alcohol only on the paint where the tape goes.
Rest of the row
With the cut-out piece in place, tape up the others and check the top line along the molding. Peel and press each piece in short sections, working rearward through the doors to the bed.
Measuring at the door gaps
Measure at the door gaps as you go so the trim lines up when viewed from the front and back.
Afterward
Skip washing for a day. Then hand wash with mild soap and go easy around the sensors.
Other linked F-150 parts
The list also includes GC55308, a gas door cover; TGI55308, a tailgate insert at 0.5"; RT55309, a one-piece tailgate accent at 4" noted "No cut out"; and WS55316, a window sill set listed for the "Super Crew Cab." The Crew Cab versus Super Crew Cab naming isn't explained in the data, so ask us before pairing them. Check each listing for its finish.
Supplies
A tape measure, a roll of painter's tape, isopropyl alcohol, two clean microfiber cloths, and a marker for the liners. A small flashlight helps when you are checking the sensor opening from low down.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
