Product Description
Lincoln MKZ 2013-2020 Lower Kit, 8 Pieces - Width Listed Two Ways (TH53630)
TH53630 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 2013-2020 Lincoln MKZ sedan. It spans from the bottom of each door up. The width, though, appears two different ways on the record.
Taper or straight?
The bullet reads "1.25 - 2.25" tapered Width." The separate width field shows 2.25" alone, with no taper. If the bullet is right, the band runs from an inch and a quarter at one end to two and a quarter at the other. If the field is right, it's a straight 2.25". We can't tell which from the data, and we won't choose for you. Look at the product photos and call 877-752-3811 to confirm before ordering.
Eight model years
The MKZ has one fitment row: the 4-door sedan from 2013 through 2020, with no trim exclusions listed.
Pillar sets
PP53630 (four pieces), PP53631 (six) and PP53632 (eight) are linked, and all three note "Includes keyless entry touch pad." The record doesn't list a version without the touch pad. If your MKZ has no exterior keypad, call before ordering pillar trim. RD53630, a 1.125" rear deck accent, is also linked. Check each listing for its finish.
Material
The MKZ kit tapers from 1.25" to 2.25" across eight pieces of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each one on the existing door surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
What to send when you call
The year, a side photo of the MKZ taken square on, and a measurement from the bottom of a door up to where you'd expect the trim to end. With those we can confirm the width question.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't give a layout for the eight MKZ pieces, so lay them out by size, dry-fit them, and label each liner with its spot.
Prep
Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the lower doors. Repair chipped paint along the bottom edges first.
Install
Tape each piece in place, swing the door through its full arc, and look along the side. Then peel the liner gradually and press firmly.
MKZ spacing
As the pieces go on, use a tape measure to keep each one's position consistent along the Lincoln.
Conditions and care
Fit the MKZ trim on a mild, dry day in shade and wait a day before washing.
Contact
Previewing both readings
Put two strips of painter's tape on one door: a straight one at two and a quarter inches, and a sloped one from an inch and a quarter at one end to two and a quarter at the other. Compare both with the product photos. It's a quick way to see which reading matches what's shown.
Help
A second person holding the far end of each piece keeps it level while you set the near end and peel the liner.
Final press
Once all eight pieces are on, press each one again along its length.
Questions about the width are welcome before you buy.
Afterward
Hand wash with mild soap after the first day.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
