Product Description
Volkswagen Routan 2009-2012 Minivan Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP29655)
LP29655 is cataloged for the Volkswagen Routan, a 4-door minivan in the fitment data, for model years 2009 through 2012. Four years, one row, no trim exclusions. The part is a single License Plate Bezel made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, and it frames the plate area at the rear.
Only one other Routan part
The sheet for this minivan is short. Besides the bezel, it lists RD29655, a one-piece part named Rear Deck Accent. That name doesn't fit a minivan body, which is tagged on the same row, so we've flagged the naming for review. Since it's cataloged for the rear like this bezel, look at both sets of photos together if you're considering the pair, or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 to ask how the two relate. Check that listing for its finish.
Outline and size
No dimensions or cutout notes are listed for LP29655. Compare the product photos with the area around your plate, including any lock, handle, emblem or lighting nearby. If the shapes don't line up, call before ordering and mention the SKU.
Tape-on install
The bezel installs directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so you won't drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. On a vehicle from these years, the paint around the plate is worth inspecting first; repair chips and any clear coat that's lifting or flaking, because the tape bonds to the top layer only. Clean with soap and water and then rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit the bezel with its liner on and step back to check it's centered, then mark the spot with painter's tape before peeling and pressing. See the Installation tab for the step list and the temperature range.
Why it's a good weekend job
There's one piece, one location and nothing to remove apart from the plate. Most of the time goes into cleaning. That makes it a manageable project even if you've never fitted tape-on trim before. Pick a dry day, give yourself time for the cleaning steps, and don't rush the dry fit; that's where a good result is decided.
Before ordering
Check your records for a Routan between 2009 and 2012. If you keep a frame on the plate, put it on during the dry fit to make sure it doesn't overlap the bezel, and decide which look you prefer before the tape is exposed.
Material notes
304 is a common chromium-nickel stainless grade for exterior trim, and 26 gauge is a thin sheet that lets a taped part sit close to the surface. The mirror polish is the bright finish you see in the photos, and it's made in the USA.
When you refit the plate afterward, snug the screws without overtightening them.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Leave steel wool and scouring pads out of it.

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.
