Product Description
Ford Escape 2013-2019 Side Molding Inserts, 1.25" Stainless, 8 Pieces (TH53360)
TH53360 is an eight-piece set of polished stainless steel inserts for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, a 4-door SUV. It's titled Rocker Panel Trim, but the part name is Insert Kit and the location note reads "Side Molding." Each insert is 1.25" wide.
Molding inserts, not a rocker cover
Going by the notes, these pieces sit on the side molding of the Escape, not on the area below the doors. If you were looking for trim under the doors, check the product photos first, and call 877-752-3811 so we can steer you to the right listing.
Eight pieces on four doors
The record gives eight pieces for a four-door SUV and doesn't say how they're split. The record doesn't give the layout. Lay all eight out against the photos and label each liner before you peel anything.
Your molding has to be there
Inserts need a molding strip to sit on. Walk around the Escape and confirm molding is present on every door, firmly attached, and roughly an inch and a quarter across where the insert goes. Molding isn't part of this kit.
A big family of linked parts
The Escape record links fourteen other listings. The pillar post sets are the ones to read closely, because their notes differ: some "Include keyless entry touch pad" (PP53360, PP53361, PP53363), some don't (PP53364, PP53365, PP53367), and PP53366 has no note. PP53362 "Includes rear rear Pillar piece." Two say "Sheer three sides." There's also WS53360, a ten-piece window sill set that "Includes the face of window sill only," TP53360, a 0.675" hatch accent "With Top Trim Crease," and GC53360, a gas door cover "With notch for finger grip contour." DH53360, RD53360 and WQ53360 round out the list. Check each listing for its finish.
Material
The eight 1.25" Escape molding inserts are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the 2013-2019 SUV.
Cleaning molding
Molding often carries protectant, which stops tape from bonding. Wash it, dry it, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol several times until the cloth comes away clean.
Centering each insert
Hold an insert in place with painter's tape and check it's centered top to bottom along the molding, with its ends where the photos show. Open the door to make sure nothing catches.
Pressing
Peel a little liner at one end, set it, then press along the insert while drawing out the rest. Finish with firm thumb pressure on both long edges.
Escape spacing
Measure each Escape insert end from the door edge and keep it consistent.
Conditions
Choose a mild, dry day in shade. Cold molding makes the first bond weaker.
Afterward
No washing the Escape for a day.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Insert Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
