Product Description
Ford Five Hundred, Taurus and Mercury Sable Trunk Trim, 2.95 Inches Wide (RD45370)
RD45370's title and fitment list three sedans: the Ford Five Hundred 2005-2007, the Ford Taurus 2008-2009, and the Mercury Sable 2008-2009, all 4-door. It is a single strip of polished 304 stainless, 2.95 inches wide, made in the USA, with 3M tape. The Taurus and Sable share the later span.
Three badges
- Ford Five Hundred: 2005, 2006, 2007
- Ford Taurus: 2008, 2009
- Mercury Sable: 2008, 2009
Check the badge and the year on your car. A Taurus or Sable from other years is not listed here.
Almost three inches
At 2.95 inches, this is a wide band of polished metal across the trunk. No length is listed; the photos show its span. Laying a strip of painter's tape about that wide across the lid is an easy way to picture it.
No linked parts
No other QAA parts are linked to this listing in the data. If you are looking for more trim for one of these sedans, call to ask what else is available.
One strip, three nameplates
Because the same accent is listed for all three sedans, the data treats their trunk lids as a match for this part. Even so, it is worth comparing the photos with your own car before ordering, particularly if your trunk has an aftermarket spoiler or badge in the way.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror. There is no plating, so the face of a wide strip like this cannot peel.
Attachment
The 2.95" deck strip for the Five Hundred, Taurus and Sable goes on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Preparing for a wide strip
Nearly three inches of tape covers a lot of paint. Wash the trunk lid, dry it, and wipe the whole band plus a margin with a residue-free cleaner. On a car of these years, check for old wax, fading, and clearcoat wear in that band, and repair any weak spots before installation.
Lining it up
Leave the liner on and set the strip where the photos show it. Measure each end to the lid edges until they match, then mark both the top and bottom edges with painter's tape. A wide piece looks crooked quickly if one end drifts, so step back and look from directly behind.
Pressing
On a dry day with mild temperatures, peel the liner and press from the center outward. Then go back over both long edges with firm hand pressure. The Installation tab has full steps.
Afterward
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth, no compounds, and dry the trunk after rinsing.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless gets its shine from the steel itself, so a scratch shows the same bright metal rather than a different layer.

Installation tips: Rear Deck 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.
