Product Description
Tacoma Access Cab 6' Bed Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 6 Pieces (MI16172)
The catalog splits its 2016 to 2023 Tacoma molding insert kits by cab and bed length, four kits in all. MI16172 is the one for the Access Cab with the 6' bed. It has 6 pieces of polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, each 1.5 inches wide. The row is tagged 4-door pickup, Access Cab, 6' Bed.
The four Tacoma kits side by side
- MI16172: Access Cab, 6' bed, 6 pieces (this page)
- MI16173: Access Cab, 5' bed, 4 pieces
- MI16174: Double Cab, 5' bed, 4 pieces
- MI16175: Double Cab, 6' bed, 8 pieces
All four are 1.5 inches wide and listed for 2016 through 2023. The cab and bed are what separate them, so match both to your truck before ordering. If you're unsure which you have, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Mounting
The strips mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go directly over the existing surface, so no drilling. The photos show the layout.
Access Cab parts on this sheet
Two other Access Cab parts are cross-listed: PP16172, a 4-piece Pillar Post Trim, and TH16172, a 6-piece Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit for the Access Cab 6' bed that spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. Its width is given as a range, 8-8.375 inches. TH16173, the Access Cab 5' bed rocker kit, is listed too.
Other linked Tacoma parts include RT16175, a 1-piece Tailgate Accent Trim, 2 inches wide by 56.625 inches long; SGR16175, 6-piece "TACOMA" Tailgate Letter Inserts noted as stainless letters; and RW16175, a 2-piece set of Sliding Rear Window Trim Accents that requires a non-power sliding rear window and lists specific trims. Those restrictions belong to the rear window trim, not this kit.
Why the piece counts differ
The four kits don't share a piece count: four, six or eight strips depending on the configuration. The catalog doesn't explain the split, and it doesn't describe where the strips sit on each truck. What matters for ordering is that your cab and bed match the row. The photos for each kit show its own layout, so compare the one for your configuration with your truck.
Install notes
Check the existing moldings for damage and repair them first. Wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol.
Lay out the six strips against the photos and mark each liner with its position. Dry-fit one at a time, align it with the molding edges and mark its ends with painter's tape. Peel, place and press firmly along the full length. Step back after each piece to check the line.
The Installation tab lists the full steps and the tape's temperature range. Fit on a dry, mild day and keep the truck out of rain and the first wash until the bond settles.
Stainless care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. No abrasive pads or steel wool.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
