Product Description
Lincoln MKX Polished Stainless Tailgate Handle Accent, 2 Pieces, 2007-2015 (DH47610)
For the rear handle of the 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX, QAA lists DH47610, a two-piece tailgate handle accent trim set in polished stainless steel. The MKX is cataloged as a 4-door SUV, and the nine-year fitment window covers a long run of model years with one part number. The trim is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless and installs over the existing surface.
Fitment
Lincoln MKX, 2007 through 2015, 4-door SUV. That single row is the full listing. The Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA records it, and no companion parts are cross-listed.
Two pieces
Many tailgate accent rings come as a single piece. This one is listed with two. The catalog does not describe what each piece covers or how they fit together around the handle, so the product photos are the best reference. Lay both out against the photos before peeling anything.
Polished 304 stainless
Type 304 stainless steel is a widely used grade. QAA forms it in thin 26-gauge sheet so it sits flush against the MKX liftgate, and polishes it to a mirror-like finish. Made in the USA. Because it is solid metal rather than plated plastic, the shine is the steel itself.
Install
On the 2007-2015 MKX, both pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, without drilling. Per QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime and won't harm the Lincoln's surface.
Start by washing the area around the rear handle, then wipe it down with a degreaser or rubbing alcohol to remove wax and road film. Let it dry fully. Hold the first piece in position with its liner on, then the second, and check how they line up with each other and with the handle. When you are happy with the placement, peel and press each one firmly for several seconds. The Installation tab has more detail.
Getting two pieces to match
With a two-piece accent, the gap and alignment between the pieces matter as much as their position on the vehicle. A strip of painter's tape can mark where each one goes while the liners are still on. Step back and look from directly behind the SUV before committing.
Why the rear handle
The liftgate handle is used whenever cargo goes in or out, and it sits in the middle of the rear view. Polished stainless there gives the MKX's liftgate a clean, bright detail.
Conditions
Work on a dry, mild day in the shade, and avoid closing the liftgate hard or washing the vehicle for a while so the tape can bond.
Long fitment window
Nine model years on one part number means owners of an early or late MKX can order the same set. Just confirm your year falls inside the listed range.
Care
Wash and dry with the rest of the vehicle using a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh polishes, which can dull the finish.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Accent Trim Ring
- 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.
