Product Description
Ford Flex 2013-2019 Stainless Trunk Hatch Accent Trim TP53340, 2.25", FLEX Cut Out, 1 Piece
TP53340 is a one-piece polished stainless steel Trunk Hatch Accent Trim for the 2013-2019 Ford Flex 4-door SUV. The bullet reads "2.25" Width, with cut out for "FLEX" Characters".
The cut out
The piece has an opening for the "FLEX" characters on the hatch, so the lettering stays visible once the trim is fitted. The record doesn't give the size or shape of the opening, so look at the photos to see how the trim and the characters sit together. If your hatch lettering differs from the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
A 2.25" band
The listed width is 2.25". Measure the area around the characters on your hatch to picture how the band will look, and compare it with the photos.
The other hatch piece
The record links DH53340, a two-piece Tailgate Handle Accent Trim described as a "Three sided partial ring trim - open on top" with a second piece that sits on the bottom surface of the handle's concave area. If you plan to fit both, compare their photos to see how they relate on the hatch.
Not the earlier Flex piece
This listing covers 2013-2019. The record doesn't link it to any trim for earlier Flex years, so if your SUV is older, ask us.
Construction
- Polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge, high quality
- Made by QAA in the USA
- Fits over the Flex's surface as it stands
- Bonded with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
For the Flex accent with its FLEX cut out, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the liftgate.
Cleaning around lettering
Wash the hatch and use a soft brush around the characters. Rinse, dry fully, then wipe the bonding area with a wax-and-grease remover and finish with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Lining up the opening
Dry fit with the liner on. The cut out has to sit evenly around the characters, so check the gap on every side and stand back to look. Mark the ends with painter's tape when it's right.
Bonding
Peel the liner, align the cut out with the lettering before the tape touches, and set the piece down without sliding. Press firmly along its full length.
Conditions
A mild, dry day in shade. Wait a day before washing.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; for fingerprints, a non-abrasive stainless cleaner.
Tools
Painter's tape, a soft brush, lint-free cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol. A helper can hold the piece while you check the opening from a distance.
Before ordering
Confirm a 2013 to 2019 Flex with "FLEX" characters on the hatch matching the photos. Check the piece on arrival, store it flat, and press down any raised edge the morning after fitting.
If the opening won't sit evenly around the characters in the dry fit, keep the liner on and call us with a photo. An unbonded piece is easy to check.
Allow around half an hour, most of it for cleaning.

Installation tips: Trunk Hatch Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
