Product Description
DH58383: 304 Stainless Tailgate Handle Surround, Ford Expedition 2018-2025
Made in the USA from polished 304 stainless steel, DH58383 is a one-piece accent that frames the rear handle on a Ford Expedition. QAA files it as tailgate handle accent trim with one note, "Surround," meaning it outlines the handle area rather than capping the handle. On an SUV, the "tailgate" in question is the rear liftgate.
Years and body
One row, eight model years: Ford Expedition, 2018 through 2025, 4-door SUV. The Fitment tab has it exactly as entered.
The MAX question
Expedition owners will notice that two of the wheel well kits cross-listed for this SUV carry the note "Does not fit the MAX version." No such note appears on this surround's own listing. The catalog simply doesn't address the MAX here, so if you drive one, call and we'll check before you order.
Why steel instead of plating
Plated plastic gets its shine from a thin coating; stainless steel is bright all the way through. The piece is thin 26-gauge steel that lies flat on the liftgate, finished with a polish. The grade, 304, is a widely used stainless alloy.
How it goes on
The Expedition surround fits over the tailgate handle's existing surface and mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Ford's surface.
Step by step
- Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched so the panel is steady.
- Wash the handle area, rinse, and wipe on a degreaser.
- Wait until the paint is fully dry.
- Offer the surround up with the liner on and mark its corners with painter's tape.
- Peel, set it on the marks, and press around the whole perimeter. Press again a minute later.
Read the Installation tab before fitting this Expedition surround.
Centering
Before the liner comes off, walk back a few steps and look at the surround from behind the SUV. A slight tilt that's invisible up close is obvious from a distance, and it's simple to correct while the marks are still just painter's tape.
Good conditions
A dry, mild day out of direct sun gives the tape its best start. Keep the SUV out of the rain overnight. Freshly waxed paint should get a second wipe of degreaser.
Build out the rear
QAA cross-lists more Expedition trim:
- RD58383, a 1pc rear deck accent
- BI58383, a 1pc rear bumper trim accent, 0.625" wide
- WQ58383 and WQ58384, 6pc wheel well accent trims, 1.25" wide, both noted as not fitting the MAX
The two wheel well kits show the same piece count, width and note in the catalog. The data doesn't say how they differ, so compare their photos or call. With the rear deck and bumper pieces on as well, the Expedition's back end has a consistent polished-steel theme.
Upkeep
Soap, water and a soft towel are all the care it needs. Steel wool and scouring pads will leave scratches in the polish.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle 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.
