Product Description
Ford Flex 2009-2012 Stainless Trunk Hatch Accent Trim TP49340, 2 Pieces
TP49340 is a two-piece polished stainless steel Trunk Hatch Accent Trim for the 2009-2012 Ford Flex 4-door SUV. The listing has no width or position note, so the product photos are the guide to placement.
Linked Flex parts
Two other QAA parts are linked for this SUV in the record:
- DH49340: Tailgate Handle Accent Trim Ring, 2 pieces, noted "With top section bend for contour" and including a second piece that sits on the bottom surface of the handle's concave area
- FV49340: Front Vent Trim, 4 pieces
The handle ring is the other rear piece in the group. If you're ordering both, look at their photos together to see how they sit on the hatch.
2009-2012 only
This set is listed for the Flex from 2009 through 2012. The record doesn't extend it to later years, so if your Flex is newer, check with us at 877-752-3811.
Construction
Both Flex hatch pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and stick on over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the surface of the vehicle.
Placement
Compare the photos with your Flex's hatch before ordering. When the box arrives, hold both pieces up with liners on. If they don't follow the surface, stop and call.
Preparation
- Wash the hatch.
- Rinse and let it dry fully.
- Degrease the hatch bonding spots on the Flex.
- Wipe again with isopropyl alcohol right before fitting.
Marking
During the dry fit, mark the ends of each piece with painter's tape. Step back to check the two sit level, and open and close the hatch to confirm nothing catches.
Bonding
Peel a short length of liner, press, and continue to the end of the piece. Then go over it once more with firm pressure. Fit the second piece using the first as a guide.
Conditions
Pick a dry, mild day and work in shade. Keep water off the Flex's hatch until the following day.
Care
Clean the hatch accent with a soft cloth, mild soap and water; fingerprints come off with a non-abrasive stainless cleaner.
Tools
Have painter's tape, lint-free cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol ready. A second person standing behind the Flex can check that both pieces sit level.
If something's not right
Swap the two pieces in case they're reversed. If they still don't sit as the photos show, keep the liners on and call us with your year. Store the pieces flat until fitting day, count both when the box arrives, and press down any raised edge the next morning. If you're also fitting the handle ring, put this trim on first and judge the ring against it.
Afterward
Check both pieces the next morning and press down any edge that has lifted. Polished stainless keeps its shine with nothing more than regular gentle washing.
Allow about an hour for the job, most of it for cleaning and the dry fit, and keep the box until both pieces are on.

Installation tips: Trunk Hatch Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
