Product Description
2015-2017 Expedition "EL" Model Upper Kit, Non-Platinum, 4 Pieces at 5" (TH55384)
TH55384 is the "EL" Model kit in QAA's 2015-2017 Ford Expedition rocker set. Four polished stainless steel pieces, 5" wide, span "from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The note: "With top and bottom crease, NO cut out, NO fitment for PLATINUM EDITION, Fitment for the "EL" Model."
EL, but not Platinum
Two conditions have to be true for this kit: the Expedition is the EL, and it isn't the Platinum Edition. Its fitment line reads "4-door, EL Model." An EL Platinum is a different case; the linked TH55386 is noted "PLATINUM only (Does fit the "EL" Model)." A non-Platinum Expedition that isn't the EL would look at TH55383.
A different UPC prefix
This record's UPC is 652012475019. Its opening digits differ from the other three Expedition kits in the set. The record gives no reason, and it doesn't change the fitment. We mention it so the code doesn't surprise you if you compare.
The profile
"Top and bottom crease" describes a shaped edge along both sides of each piece. The record doesn't say more, so the photos are the reference. There's also "NO cut out," meaning the record lists no openings in the pieces.
Material
Built for the Expedition EL only, these four creased 5" strips are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, and 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape secures them below the molding. QAA states this tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Ford.
Confirm the body
The record doesn't describe how the EL differs from the standard Expedition, so don't measure your way to an answer. Check the registration, window sticker or badge for "EL" and your trim name. If any of that is missing, call 877-752-3811.
Linked extras
The grille accent SG55383 (1.25", "Not intended for the Limited model") and the license plate bezel LP55383 are listed for the 4-door SUV. Read each listing for its own finish.
Clean, then mock up
Wash and dry the area below the molding, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Hang all four pieces with painter's tape, check that each top edge follows the molding, and that the creases line up across the doors.
Permanent fit
Work one piece at a time. Peel a short length of liner, place, press, and continue to the far end. Then go over the whole piece again with firm hand pressure.
Conditions
A mild, dry day in shade is ideal. Keep the SUV out of the wash for a day.
Supplies
Painter's tape, a tape measure, isopropyl alcohol, clean lint-free cloths and a marker. Writing the door position on each liner before you start keeps the four pieces in order.
Even crease heights
After the first pieces, note where the front and rear pieces start and stop against the door gaps. Use those positions for the rest so the creases sit at matching heights when you look along the SUV.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
