Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu 2016-2025 Rear Bumper Accent, Two-Inch Polished Stainless (RB56105)
RB56105 is a single mirror-polished stainless steel strip for the rear bumper of the Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan, 2016 through 2025. The catalog lists it at 2.0 inches wide. It is made in the USA from 304 stainless and goes on with 3M tape.
A ten-year fitment
This one record covers every model year from 2016 to 2025, so a decade of Malibu sedans share the same rear bumper accent. If you have a 2016, note that QAA also lists a rear bumper trim for the 2016 Malibu Limited; check which badge your car carries before ordering, or call to confirm.
Two inches against the deck accent
The bumper strip is listed at two inches, while the matching rear deck accent, RD56105, is listed at 0.75 inches. Installed together, the bumper line is clearly the bolder of the two, with a slimmer echo on the trunk lid above it.
Rear companions
- RD56105, the 0.75-inch rear deck accent
- BL56105, a brake light trim
- LP56105, a license plate bezel
- GC56105, a gas door cover
Side and mirror options
For the rockers, TH56106 is a two-piece on-the-rocker kit at 1.25 inches, and TH56105 is an eight-piece lower kit with a tapered width of 1.5 to 2.0 inches. WQ56105 wheel well trim is 0.875 inches. PP56105 and PP56106 are four- and six-piece pillar kits. For the mirrors, the catalog lists both MA56105, a two-piece mirror accent, and MC56105, a two-piece mirror cover set; the data does not describe how they differ beyond the names, so compare the photos.
What it is
A decorative polished strip that adheres to the rear bumper cover. Nothing on the car is modified.
The steel
26-gauge 304 stainless with a mirror polish. The finish is the metal itself, not a plated coat.
Mounting
The Malibu accent fits over the existing bumper surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Chevrolet.
Prep depends on the age of your Malibu
An early car in this span can carry wax buildup and small chips. A late one can carry a ceramic coating or sealant. Either way, wash and dry the bumper, wipe the area with a residue-free cleaner, and make sure the tape will meet clean, sound paint.
Putting it on
Dry-fit with the liner on. Measure from each end to the bumper edges and mark the line with masking tape. If the deck accent is already in place, use it as a centering reference. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the middle outward across the full two-inch width. Wait a few days before washing. Details are on the Installation tab.
Care
Mild soap, water, and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads that leave swirl marks on the mirror face.
Before ordering
Check the model year and the badge on the trunk lid, then look over the photos of any companion pieces you want so they can go on in one session.

Installation tips: Rear Bumper Trim 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.
