Product Description
Ford Taurus 2010-2019 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ50490, Cut to Fit with Rocker Kit, 6 Pieces
WQ50490 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2010-2019 Ford Taurus 4-door sedan. Its note says "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately", and the listing describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". No width is listed.
The cut, and the kit it meets
The note doesn't name a rocker kit. One is linked for this Taurus: TH50490, an eight-piece lower kit at 1.125-1.625" that spans from the bottom of the door up. Before ordering, check with 877-752-3811 that TH50490 is the kit these pieces are cut for. If you don't want rocker trim, the Full Length set WQ50491 is listed without the cut.
Six pieces
All six have black rubber gasket edging. The record doesn't say how they're divided among the four openings, so lay them out against the photos and write each position on its liner before any cleaning.
Material
The six Taurus arch pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless that QAA forms in the USA, all held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
Taurus group
MI50490 is a four-piece body molding insert kit at 1" "With point contoured ends". All three pillar sets, PP50490 (4), PP50491 (6) and PP50492 (8), are noted "Includes keyless entry touch pad".
Before ordering
Confirm the year is 2010-2019 and the body is the 4-door sedan. Confirm the rocker kit by phone. Order TH50490 and WQ50490 together if neither is on the car yet.
Rocker first, then the arches
Install TH50490 on its own day. Once it's on, each cut end of the wheel well set has a fixed partner to be judged against.
Cleaning around the cut ends
The ends that meet the rocker trim are where a poor bond would show first, so start your inspection there. Wash and dry each opening, give the lip a few minutes to drain, and then examine the lower part of each band closely, right up to the rocker trim. Lift off any residue with a plastic edge, deal with chips, and wipe with wax-and-grease remover. Isopropyl alcohol is the final wipe, done only as each piece is ready.
Bonding the six
At each opening, tape all of its pieces up on their backings and look at three things against the photos: gasket against the opening, any join between pieces, and the cut end beside TH50490. Start with the piece furthest from the rocker trim. Peel its liner in short sections and press each one firmly. Work toward the rocker trim, so the piece with the cut end goes on last and lands exactly where it was dry-fitted. If a cut end doesn't meet the rocker trim as pictured, stop and call 877-752-3811 rather than trimming.
Arrival and care
Count six pieces on arrival and check each cut end. After fitting, no wash for a day; then mild soap and a soft cloth, with no pressure washer on the gasket.

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.
