Product Description
Grand Caravan 2008-2020 and Town & Country 2011-2016 Liftgate Strip, 2-Inch Stainless (RD51895)
The two nameplates here have very different spans. The title and the record list the Chrysler Town & Country from 2011 to 2016 and the Dodge Grand Caravan across a much longer span, 2008 through 2020. Both are 4-door minivans. RD51895 is a two-inch strip of polished 304 stainless steel, one piece, made in the USA, mounting with 3M tape.
Year by year
- Chrysler Town & Country model years 2011 through 2016
- Dodge Grand Caravan: 2008 through 2020, thirteen model years
An overlap to know about
QAA catalogs another two-inch minivan strip that also lists the earliest Grand Caravan years. If you own a Grand Caravan from the first few years of this range, call and we can tell you which listing to order; the data doesn't describe a difference between them.
Placement on the van
The part type QAA lists is rear deck accent. A minivan has no trunk lid, so this goes on the liftgate. The product photos show where.
Nothing linked
No sibling parts are tied to this record. The strip is the whole order; for other van trim, ask by phone.
Two inches on a big gate
Cut a two-inch piece of painter's tape long enough to span the gate and stick it in the photographed spot. From the end of the driveway you'll see whether the band suits the van.
Metal
The strip is 26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished. The brightness is part of the steel, so no plating can lift.
Adhesive
On the Town & Country, the trim attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight onto the current liftgate surface. Per QAA, the tape lasts a lifetime and leaves the minivan undamaged.
Getting a van gate clean
Liftgates gather road dust and residue from years of washes. Clean the gate, dry it, and work a residue-free cleaner across the strip's whole footprint until a fresh cloth stays spotless. Older paint on early Grand Caravans can need chips or soft clearcoat repaired first.
Layout with a helper
Two people make this easier on a wide gate. Hold the strip with the liner on, measure from each end to the gate edges, and run painter's tape along the line.
Press
Choose a dry day without temperature extremes. Peel the liner and press from the center outward, covering the full width. The Installation tab has every step.
Upkeep
Wait a few days before washing. Use mild soap and a soft cloth, never abrasive compounds.
Why stainless
Loading and unloading can scuff a gate. On solid 304 stainless, a light scuff shows the same steel rather than a base layer.
What it does
It puts a polished band on the rear. It does not replace a factory part.
Before ordering
Match your badge to the year list and try the tape preview. Check the photos for clearance around any wiper, badge, or handle on your gate.

Installation tips: Rear Deck Accent
- 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.
