Product Description
Subaru Legacy Sedan 2005-2009 Rear Deck Accent, 1.25-Inch Stainless (RD25445)
RD25445 gives the Subaru Legacy 4-door sedan from 2005 through 2009 a single polished strip across the trunk. It is 1.25 inches wide, 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, made in the USA, and it attaches over the existing surface with 3M tape.
Sedan, not the other Legacy
The fitment line names the 4-door sedan only. If your Legacy has a different body style, this record does not cover it. The model years are 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.
A short list of companions
Only two other QAA parts are linked to this Legacy:
- PP25445, a two-piece pillar post kit
- TH25445, a four-piece lower rocker kit with trim crease, 2 inches wide, on the doors only and spanning up from the bottom of the door
That keeps the decision simple. The trunk strip handles the rear, the rocker kit handles the sides, and the pillar kit puts a touch at the windows.
Width in context
At an inch and a quarter, the strip is a moderate accent on the trunk. The rocker kit is wider, at 2 inches. No length is listed for the trunk strip; check the photos.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished to a mirror. There is no plated layer, so nothing can flake off.
How it attaches
On the Legacy, the deck accent fastens with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime without surface damage to the Subaru.
Prep on a Legacy of this age
These cars have been through many seasons. Look at the trunk in daylight for dull spots, old wax, and chips. Wash, dry, and wipe the strip's footprint with a residue-free cleaner. If the clearcoat is lifting, repair it before mounting anything, because the tape can only hold as well as the paint under it.
Placing the strip
Hold it on the lid with the liner still attached and compare against the photos. Measure from each end to the lid edges, adjust until they match, and run painter's tape along the top line. Work on a dry, mild day. Peel the liner and press from the center to both ends with firm, even pressure. The Installation tab covers it in detail.
Doing the sides too
If you fit TH25445, its trim crease is worth noting. Dry-fit it on each door and confirm the crease lines up before peeling any liner.
Care
Give it a few days before the first wash. Mild soap and a soft cloth from then on, no abrasive pads, and dry the lid afterward.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless gets its shine from the steel itself; check the other Legacy listings for their finish.
Before ordering
Confirm the year falls between 2005 and 2009 and that you have the sedan, then compare the photos with your trunk lid.

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.
