Product Description
Toyota RAV4 2013-2015 Polished Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP13180)
LP13180 is listed for three model years of the Toyota RAV4 4-door SUV: 2013, 2014 and 2015. It's a single polished stainless steel License Plate Bezel, a frame-style trim for the plate area on the liftgate. With so short a range, the first job is checking your Rav4's year.
One of two plate-area parts
The same RAV4 list includes LB13180, a one-piece license bar cataloged as a License Plate Bar Accent. The bar runs above the plate and this bezel frames it. Either works alone, and together they give a frame with an accent line above. The catalog doesn't describe how they sit relative to each other, so compare the two listings' photos with your liftgate before deciding. Neither lists dimensions.
Material and attachment
Made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used, and the bezel installs directly over the existing surface without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Compare before you buy
No cutout notes appear on this listing, so check the photos for the bezel's outline against your plate area, including lights, a handle or a camera nearby. If you're unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give the part number LP13180.
Fitting it
Unscrew the plate. Wash the plate area, rinse and dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol twice, getting into the corners. Look for chips or adhesive left by an old frame and clear it. Hold the bezel in position with the liner on; from a few steps back, the margins should look even all round. Mark its place with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align, and press firmly around the entire frame. Press again a minute later, refit the plate, and close the liftgate gently for the first day. Temperature notes are on the Installation tab.
The other two RAV4 parts
RD13180 is a one-piece rear deck accent at 1.875", listed for this same SUV; its photos show exactly where it goes on the vehicle, and it is sold on its own listing. SG13180 is a four-piece front grille accent noted Insert Package. Check each listing for its finish.
Plate frames
If you use a separate frame on the plate, refit it during the dry fit and confirm it doesn't land on the bezel.
Paint on an older RAV4
Liftgates from these years have usually built up wax and road film around the plate. A thorough alcohol wipe and a close look for chips or lifting clear coat before installing will help the tape bond properly.
Why the plate area
The plate is centered on the liftgate, so a polished frame there is the first thing seen from behind. It's a single, quick install that changes nothing else on the RAV4.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. Avoid abrasives, and dry it after washing so water spots don't form on the polish.

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.
