Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2019 Tapered Side Accent Trim, 6-Piece Polished Stainless (AT55640)
The Lincoln MKC is a compact luxury SUV, and QAA gave its side accent a shape to match. AT55640 is a six-piece body side molding accent for the 4-door MKC from 2015 through 2019, in polished stainless steel with a tapered width of 1.5" to 1.75". That is a generous width for a side accent, and the gentle taper gives the brightwork a sculpted look rather than a flat, uniform band.
A wide, tapered band
Many side accents are an inch wide or less. This one starts at an inch and a half and grows to an inch and three-quarters, so it reads as a substantial piece of trim on the MKC's doors. The taper is subtle, a quarter inch from end to end, which keeps the band looking deliberate rather than dramatic. The catalog does not list piece lengths, so check the product photos to see where the six pieces sit.
Material and finish
QAA makes every piece in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes it to a mirror shine. That bright finish complements any chrome or bright trim already on the vehicle. Since it is solid stainless, the shine is the metal itself rather than a coating. Grade 304 is a widely used stainless alloy, and 26 gauge is the sheet thickness.
Mounting
The back of each piece has 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape already applied, and the trim goes directly over the existing surface. There is no drilling and nothing to take off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the vehicle. Wide pieces have more tape in contact with the paint, so thorough prep is worth the time: wash, dry, and wipe down the mounting area, then dry-fit before you peel. The Installation tab walks through the full process.
Accent or insert kit?
QAA also catalogs MI55640 for the same MKC, a six-piece body molding insert kit with a width from 1.25" to 1.75". With the same piece count and an overlapping width range, the two can look similar on paper. The catalog lists them as different part types, an accent and an insert kit, so compare the photos on both listings to see which one suits your MKC, or call us.
Other MKC trim
For the same SUV, QAA lists pillar post kits in four, six, and ten pieces, a gas door cover, a license plate bezel, a brake light surround trim, plus a rear deck accent, a lower rocker kit, and another rear accent. All are linked in the Fitment tab.
Fitment
Listed for the 4-door MKC SUV in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. That is five model years of the same body. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as QAA catalogs it, and if you bought your MKC used, your records will confirm the year before you order.

Installation tips: Body Side Molding Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
