Product Description
Acura MDX 2007-2013 Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI27297)
The Acura MDX from 2007 through 2013 is the one vehicle on this listing. MI27297 is a four-piece molding insert kit in polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, made in the USA, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling. The fitment row is tagged 4-door SUV, and the title gives the same seven model years.
One detail is missing from this record: the width. MI27297's width field is empty and the bullets don't give one either. That means the only way to judge whether the strips suit your moldings is to look at the photos, or to call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask for the measurement before you order. If you're matching this kit to another stainless part, ask about both at once.
The record also doesn't say where the four pieces go. The photos show the layout, and they're worth studying alongside your own MDX before ordering. Walk around the vehicle and look at the moldings: they should be intact, firmly attached and similar in shape to what's pictured. Cracked or loose sections should be repaired first, because tape needs a sound surface.
Nine other parts are linked to the MDX, all tagged 4-door SUV. LP27297 is a 1-piece License Plate Bezel. PP27297 and PP27298 are Pillar Post Trim in 4 and 6 pieces. RD27297 is a 1-piece part named Rear Deck Accent, and TP27297 is a 2-piece Trunk Hatch Accent Trim. WP27297 is an 18-piece Window Trim Package that includes upper trim, pillar posts and window sills, the full package, while WP27298 is a 6-piece package with upper trim only. WQ27297 and WS27297 are also on the sheet. Because RD27297 carries a trunk-lid name on an SUV listing, check that part's photos to see where it actually goes. Every part is sold on its own page.
Installation follows the usual order. Wash the moldings with soap and water, dry them, and wipe with rubbing alcohol to lift wax and residue. Lay out the four strips by the photos and label each liner with its position. Dry-fit each strip with the liner still on, line it up with the molding edges, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Then peel, place on the marks and press firmly from one end to the other. Do one strip at a time, stepping back after each to check the line along the side of the SUV.
The Installation tab has the full steps and the temperature range for the tape. A dry, mild day is best. Keep the MDX out of rain and the first wash until the bond has settled.
For care, wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Abrasive pads and steel wool will scratch polished stainless, so leave them out.
To confirm your year, check your records. The row covers 2007 to 2013. For the strip width or any other question about MI27297, call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
