Product Description
Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001-2010 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP41700)
LP41700 is a one-piece stainless License Plate Bezel for the Chrysler PT Cruiser, tagged 4-door Hatchback in the fitment data. Its single row runs a full ten model years, 2001 through 2010, with no trim exclusions. The bezel is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA, and it frames the plate area.
Ten years on one row
A long fitment span is convenient, but it's also a reason to look carefully at your own vehicle rather than rely on the year alone. The catalog lists no dimensions and no cutout notes for this bezel. Compare the product photos with the area around your plate, including any lock, handle, emblem or lighting nearby, and if your PT Cruiser shows something the photos don't, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with SKU LP41700 before ordering.
Preparation and mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds the bezel, and it installs directly over the existing surface; there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Since the oldest cars on this row date to 2001, the paint around the plate is worth inspecting closely. Repair chips and lifting clear coat, and remove adhesive left by old frames or stickers. Wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol, then dry-fit with the liner on and mark the position with painter's tape before you peel and press. The Installation tab gives the steps and the temperature range.
Two fender moldings with the same description
The PT Cruiser sheet lists WZ41700 and WZ41700-AP, both four-piece Wheel Well Fender Trim Molding sets for the same hatchback. The catalog doesn't state how they differ beyond the suffix on the part number, and we won't guess. If you're interested in either, compare their photos and listings, then call to confirm which one suits your vehicle. We've flagged the pair for clarification.
Lower body trim
TH41700 is an eight-piece Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit at 5" that Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width. It's a much bigger job than the bezel, and its photos show the coverage. Check each listing for its finish.
Starting small
Of the four parts on this sheet, the bezel is the only one cataloged for the rear, and it's the quickest to fit. It's a sensible first step before the fender moldings or the rocker kit.
Confirm your year
Look for a PT Cruiser from 2001 to 2010 in your records. All four parts on this sheet carry the same 4-door hatchback tag, so the same check applies to each.
Plate frame check
If you keep a frame on the plate, refit it during the dry fit to make sure it doesn't overlap the bezel, and decide which look you want before the liner comes off.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel are all the polished stainless needs. Avoid steel wool, scouring pads and gritty compounds.

Installation tips: License Plate Bezel
- 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.
