Model years
Nitro years 2007 through 2011, in one body style: the 4-door SUV.
Three pieces for the back
The data links three other parts for the rear of the Nitro. Along with this deck accent:
- LB47940, a license bar that sits above the plate, with a logo cut out
- LP47940, a license plate bezel
- RB47940, a rear bumper trim accent, 8.75 inches wide
Together they dress the gate, the plate area, and the bumper.
The sides and front
- PP47940 and PP47941, pillar post trim in four and six pieces
- TH47940, a six-piece lower rocker kit 3.75 inches wide that spans from the bottom of the door up
- TH47941, a four-piece rocker insert kit, 1 inch wide, described as side molding
- WQ47940, a six-piece wheel well accent set
- WS47940, a four-piece window sill set
- SG47940, a one-piece lower front grille accent, 3.5 inches wide
Liftgate placement
QAA calls this a rear deck accent. On the Nitro it goes on the liftgate; the photos show where.
Width check
An inch and a quarter. Painter's tape cut to that width and stuck where the photos place the strip gives a fair preview.
Steel and tape
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished; the finish is the steel itself. The 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape goes over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Prep
Wash and dry the gate. Clean the strip's footprint with a residue-free product until the cloth stays clean, and deal with any flaking paint first.
Order of work at the rear
If you're fitting the license bar and bezel too, hold everything up with liners on and plan the spacing. Mark the deck strip's line with painter's tape, measured from both ends, then press it on from the center outward on a dry, mild day. Fit the plate pieces after.
Care
No washing for a few days. Mild soap and a soft cloth afterward, and dry the gate so water doesn't sit along the edges.
Two rocker choices
If you want side trim too, note that the two rocker kits are different parts. TH47940 is a lower kit that covers a band up from the bottom of the door, while TH47941 is a narrow insert for the side molding. The data does not say whether they can be combined, so call before ordering both.
What a deck accent is
A decorative strip of polished metal. It doesn't replace any factory part on the Nitro; it runs a bright line across the gate.
Before ordering
Confirm the year and decide which rear pieces you want, so they can go on in one session.

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.
