Product Description
Honda CR-V 2017-2022 Stainless License Bar Trim (LB17235)
LB17235 is one polished stainless steel bar for the space above the rear license plate on a Honda CR-V 4-door SUV, model years 2017 through 2022. The catalog lists it as a License Plate Bar Accent, in a single piece, with one fitment row covering six model years and no trim-level exceptions.
It is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The back is lined with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the part installs directly over the existing surface. You won't drill the liftgate or pull any panels. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Where the listing is quiet
No width is given for this bar, and there is no note about key access, a camera opening or a logo cutout. Rather than estimate, we point you to the product photos, which show the shape and its position above the plate. Compare them with the back of your CR-V. If something sits in that space on yours, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LB17235 before you order.
Your records confirm the model and year. Anything from 2017 to 2022 is on the listing.
Choosing between this and RD17235
The CR-V list includes RD17235, a one-piece part the catalog files as a Rear Deck Accent. It is listed at 1.75" and noted With trim crease. That's more detail than this bar's listing carries, and it is a different part type with its own position. The sheet doesn't say how the two relate on the liftgate, so put the two listings' photos side by side before choosing one or both.
Other parts for this CR-V
PP17235 and PP17236 are pillar post kits of four and six pieces. TH17235 is a six-piece rocker panel insert kit noted as Check mark insert trim, which Fits inside indentation in plastic lower area. Those notes are about the rocker kit, not this bar. Check each listing's photos for its finish before mixing parts on one vehicle.
Fitting it
Wash and dry the area above the plate, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate. With the liner on, set the bar in place and step back. Centered and level is what matters, since a bar above a plate shows any tilt immediately. Use painter's tape at both ends as reference marks, then peel the liner and press firmly along the full length. Press a second time after removing the marks. Leave the liftgate closed gently for the first day. The Installation tab gives temperature guidance.
One-piece advantage
With a single part there is nothing to match up and no order of pieces to sort out. Your only job is the line. Take your time over the dry fit, because once the liner is off, the bar is best placed in one go.
Care
Use mild soap and water and a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads and gritty polish.

Installation tips: License Plate Bar 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.
