Ford Ranger Mk5 2012-2016 Stainless Steel Door Handle Surrounds
Product Description
2012-2016 Ford Ranger Mk5 - Stainless Steel Door Handle Covers - Double Cab
The Mk5 Ranger including the top-spec Wildtrak only comes with a basic and boring black textured door handle. Add a bit of style and cover up the plastic using our stainless steel door handle covers. Made from high-quality polished stainless steel these covers are designed to have a long corrosion-free life and will easily outlast chrome alternatives.
Installation is simple and uses double-sided automotive grade tape to secure firmly onto the original door handles. These work on all double cab models of Mk5 Ford Rangers including the Wildtrak, Limited & XLT.
Why do we use stainless steel?
We could use cheap mild steel and then chrome plate it when manufacturing our bars but we don't.
Why not?
Because after a year or so the bar would look unsightly when weeping rust stains appear. In the iron/carbon mix chromium is also added which gives the steel its stainless qualities. The chromium element stops the iron from oxidising and becoming rust (iron oxide). Road salt used during European winters and sea salt, speed up rust formation and again gives us another good reason to use stainless steel here in the UK & in Europe where our products are sold.
Stainless steel can be exposed to the elements all year round and with a little polish now and again, can look as good as the day it came out of the packaging. This is the reason boat makers use stainless and not mild steel. Our stainless has a 3-year warranty, and features a mirror polished chrome or black powder-coated look (on some black finished items) but is in fact more expensive, and more durable, stainless steel.
