Product Description
Volkswagen Jetta 2005-2010 Rear Deck Accent, 1.75-Inch Plain Strip (RD25665)
This Jetta has two rear deck accents in QAA's catalog, and RD25665 is the wider, plain one. It is a one-piece strip, 1.75 inches wide, in polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan from 2005 through 2010. It mounts with 3M tape.
RD25665 or RD25666?
Here is how the data separates them:
- RD25665, this listing: 1.75 inches wide, with no placement or logo note
- RD25666: 1.35 inches wide, above the license plate, with logo
So if you want the strip noted for the area above the plate with a logo, RD25666 is the one. RD25665 carries no such note; the photos show where it sits.
Six model years
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, sedan body.
Front bumper trim
FP25665 is a 16-piece front bumper trim, 1.625 inches wide. That is close to this deck accent's width, which makes the two a natural front-and-back pair.
Other Jetta parts

Wagon mention
PP25665 lists both sedan and wagon in its fitment. This deck accent is listed for the sedan only.
Material
The 1.75-inch Jetta trim is 26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished, no plating.
Mounting
The 1.75" Jetta strip mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the trunk.
Prep
Wash the trunk, dry it, and wipe the area with a residue-free cleaner. On an older car, strip old wax and repair flaking paint first.
Install
With the liner on, hold the strip where the photos show it. Measure from each end to the lid edges and mark with painter's tape. Peel and press from the middle out on a dry, mild day. The Installation tab has more.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap, soft cloth, nothing abrasive. Dry the lid afterward.
Can you use both?
The data lists both deck trims for the same sedan but does not say whether they are meant to be used together. If you are thinking of fitting both, call to ask; it is better to check first on the trunk.
A wide set of matching widths
The deck accent is 1.75 inches, the front bumper trim is 1.625, and the rocker kit is 1.875. Those three are close, so a Jetta with all of them would carry a similar band of trim at the front, sides, and back, though each listing shows its own finish.
Why stainless
There is no plating on 304 stainless, so the polish is the steel itself. Check each linked Jetta listing for its finish before buying parts later.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, the sedan body, and which of the two deck trims you want.

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.
