Exterior chrome door handles

[jpark]

Hola,

 

Here are the part numbers for the MKX's exterior chrome door handles, which will also fit the Edge.

 

8A8Z-7422404-AA (handle, 4 required)

8A8Z-74218B08-AA (solid bezel, 3 required)

8A8Z-74218A14-AA (bezel with key hole, driver side, 1 required)

 

Now you don't need to buy the cheap ebay stick-on handle covers.

yeah, I am getting the set. I think it will make it look good.

 

love chrome door handles for some reason.

Hey JPark, good to see you here. Just like E-Central! Any pricing info on these?

[jpark]

I have pricing on everything except the driver-side bezel (the smaller part with the keyhole). I'll list them when I get all of the prices (which will probably be after I order them). I was also going to order a "Limited" emblem for mine, and the total was around $150 for all of those parts, for now.

 

Nice Edge! Too bad this site doesn't have the user base of E-C!

so your gonna slap a 2008 Limited badge on an 2007 SEL +? :eek5: thats false advertising isn't it

[jpark]

2007 SEL + = 2008 Limited, practically identical

 

It's my little secret.

 

:D

Ken at Titus-Will just gave me the pricing for the one bezel, so here are his prices:

8A8Z-74218B08-AA (chrome bezel without key hole, 7.93 each, 3 needed)

8A8Z-7422404-AA (chrome door handle, 27.18 each, 4 needed)

 

144.37 plus shipping.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Any idea on how difficult the door handles are to install?

 

Also, do we have to go into the dealership directly to order these, or can we simply get them online. Thanks!

Here's a diagram. This is even easier than I thought, since you don't need to remove the door panels.

 

 

1) Remove the plastic plug (4) inside the side of the door.

 

2) Loosen the Torx-head screw (3).

 

3) Carefully pull the bezel (1) away from the door.

 

4) Carefully angle the handle (2) away from the door, then slide the front of the handle out of the slot.

 

To install, just reverse the procedure.

 

I got those prices from Titus-Will Ford Parts. There are several other places to order Ford parts as well, such as Direct Parts Connection and World Parts Express. But Titus-Will has its own parts link to newer part numbers, though, and Ken is just about the most informed Ford parts guy around.

Thanks for all your help. One quick question, the "8A8Z-74218A14-AA (chrome bezel with key hole, 11.86 each, 1 needed)" keeps giving me a not found error on the titus website. Is the skew number perhaps incorrect? Thanks!

[jpark]

Nope, the part number is correct. Ken told me that it hasn't been updated on the site's database yet. Their February database update will include it.

 

You can call them (I know, last-century-technology), and ask for Ken in parts. He can add it to your order.

 

I'll take pictures of my install when I find the time (and warm enough weather) to do it.

Hey JP, do you have the phone number for titus? When I go to the contact page, I get a generic Email page that asks me for my VIN. I'd rather speak to someone directly. Thanks!!

[jpark]

Yup!

 

(800) 270-7531, and ask for Ken.

 

Their site is acting kinda funky today, too...

I just installed chrome door handles and mirror covers from the MKX on my Edge and wow...does it look sharp. I will try to get some pics up soon.

Awesome. I plan to purchase these as soon as possible, but I'd really like to see them installed to get a good idea of how they'll look.

[Nilton]

Just saw these now at the brighttrim.com website.

 

The complete 4 door handle set in chrome is only $109.

 

 

I've seen some other chrome accessories for your Edge there too, like this Rear Door Upper Trim in chrome for $129. And check out the License Plate housing... it's got a trim too for $99:

 

 

Or the rear door lower trim for $79:

 

 

There is also a 8 piece Window Sill Trim for $199:

 

 

They also have the chrome mirror covers, but much more expensive than what you can get at the Lincoln Dealer.

Do you know how closely the window sill trim matches what Ford puts on the newer Edge's ?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I wanted to view the handle install diagram that was attached to this post and it has expired. Anyone got a copy of it they can repost? I see the description but I work better with pictures so would like to see that.... Thanks

I just put chrome door handles on my Edge as well last week

I bought all 4 door handles for only about 80 bucks including shipping!

They're from Ford and the real-deal, not stick-on. I found them from another thread here that suggested using ford-parts-direct.com which was way cheaper than the dealer wanted.

 

The install was easy, though admittedly my dad did do it. He was worried about dropping the screws inside the door panel but you don't actually have to unscrew them all the way. You just loosen it up enough to get the stock handles off and switch them. It took less than 10 min to do all 4 (instructions comes with them but he didn't bother reading them of course)

 

Here's an after pic if anyone's interested:

hmmm, im trying to get rid of all teh chrome except the wheels and others want to add it?

Different strokes I guess. I wish the window trim was easy to swap.

[cmiles123]

Chloe13,

 

Could you link to the actual handles you got. Following the website you provided I found covers but not the whole handle replacement. I found handles from another site mentioned elsewhere but the price was not $80 shipped (more like $130).

 

Thanks

I like the chrome and those handles look nice. I don't like the "murdered" look or whatever its called (all black) so as you say "different strokes"....

Yeah, my car is gray so it wouldnt be "murdered".

I just think the extra chrome pieces cheapen the look of the car. The black accents are a subtle compliments to the car whiile the chrome with shouts "hey look at me!".

I prefer to keep it simple.
