Product Description
Ten Years of Chevrolet Malibu: One-Piece Stainless Brake Light Trim for 2016-2025 Sedans (BL56105)
BL56105 is a single piece of polished stainless steel brake light trim, and its fitment is what stands out: QAA lists it for the Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan across ten model years, 2016 through 2025. For so simple a part, that's a long run of model years, covering Malibu sedans from 2016 to 2025.
Every year listed
2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. All are the Malibu 4-door sedan. If your Malibu is from outside that span, this part is not listed for it. The Fitment tab shows the catalog row exactly as QAA has it.
About brake light trim
Brake light trim puts a polished accent next to or around a brake light so the light stands out against the paint; the gallery shows how this piece frames the Malibu's light. QAA catalogs this piece as brake light trim but does not specify which light or give its size. Look at the product photos for its exact shape and position, and call us if you would like it explained before you order.
The stainless difference
QAA makes this trim in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes it to a mirror shine. Solid stainless means the brightness is part of the metal, with no plated coating and no plastic underneath. Grade 304 is a common stainless grade for trim, and 26 gauge refers to the sheet thickness.
Put it on in a few steps
The back of the piece carries pre-applied 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the trim installs directly over the existing surface of the Malibu. You do not drill, and nothing is removed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. Wash the area, wipe off any wax, let it dry, check the fit with the liner still on, then peel and press firmly. The Installation tab gives the full steps.
Other trim for the back of the Malibu
Two QAA parts sit near this one at the rear of the same sedan. RD56105 is a one-piece rear deck accent at 0.75", and RB56105 is a one-piece rear bumper accent at 2.0". With the brake light trim, they put trim at three spots on the back of the Malibu; check each listing for its finish.
And for the sides
QAA also lists two pillar post kits, PP56105 in four pieces and PP56106 in six, and a two-piece mirror accent, MA56105. Lower down, there are two rocker choices: TH56105 is an eight-piece lower kit with a tapered width from 1.5" to 2.0" that spans from the bottom of the door up, and TH56106 is a two-piece kit at 1.25" that installs below the door. WQ56105, GC56105, LP56105 and MC56105 are cross-listed by number only; check each listing for its details.

Installation tips: Brake Light Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
