Ford Taurus X 2008-2009 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ48355, 6 Pieces
WQ48355 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X 4-door Crossover SUV. The listing says "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". The record gives no width.
Fitment
Taurus X Crossover SUV, 2008-2009, only two model years. Check yours, and call 877-752-3811 if the arches differ from the photos.
Six pieces, no breakdown
The six pieces each carry black rubber gasket edging. The record doesn't say how many go on each opening. Work it out from the photos with the pieces in front of you, and label each liner before prep begins.
Material
The Taurus X set is six polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces made in the USA, mounted over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the crossover.
Taurus X group
Four other parts are linked. TH48355 is a four-piece rocker Full Kit at 8.478-9.25", on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door; if you're using it, fit it before the arches. PP48355 is a four-piece pillar set that "Includes keyless entry touch pad"; PP48356 is a six-piece pillar set. RD48355 is a rear deck accent at 2.938".
Before ordering
Confirm the year is 2008 or 2009. With no width listed, compare the photos with your crossover or ask 877-752-3811 for a measurement.
Preparing the arches
Put a step by the first wheel and a lamp on the ground pointing up into the arch lip. Wash, rinse and dry the opening, then let it drain. With the lamp in place, faults on the paint are easy to spot: residue, wax haze, small chips. Clean or repair them. Then wax-and-grease remover across the trim band and, as each piece is ready, isopropyl alcohol.
Fitting six pieces
Take the pieces for one opening and hold them up together, liners attached, with tape tabs at the far ends. Study the gaps between them against the photos. When satisfied, bond the piece that sits highest first, working down to its end, then fit the next below it, so the lower piece meets an upper piece that's already fixed. Press each firmly. Move to the next opening and match it to the first.
Arrival and care
Six pieces should arrive for the Taurus X. After fitting, leave the tape a day before washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping the gasket clear of pressure-washer spray. Questions: 877-752-3811.
On the day
Lay the six pieces out by opening as the photos show and mark each liner. Have a step, a lamp, painter's tape, both cleaners and clean cloths ready. If TH48355 is going on, fit it on an earlier day so the lower body is finished when you start the arches.
Check the model year on your paperwork too, and keep each liner on until dry-fitting.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
