Product Description
Acura MDX 2007-2013 Liftgate Accent, Polished 304 Stainless (RD27297)
For the 2007-2013 Acura MDX 4-door SUV, RD27297 is a single polished strip for the rear. QAA makes it in the USA from 304 stainless steel, and it installs over the existing surface with 3M tape.
Seven MDX years
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, 4-door SUV. Check your registration or the door jamb label; an MDX from outside this window has its own parts.
Deck accent versus hatch accent
Two rear pieces for this MDX have similar names. RD27297, this listing, is QAA's rear deck accent. TP27297 is a separate two-piece trunk hatch accent. The data does not explain how their positions differ, so compare the photos of both before ordering, and call if you are unsure which you want or whether they go together.
Size
No width or length is listed for this accent. The photos show its shape.
Window packages
- WP27297, the 18-piece full package with upper trim, pillar posts, and window sills
- WP27298, six pieces, upper trim only
- WS27297, a six-piece window sill set
- PP27297 and PP27298, pillar kits in four and six pieces
Lower body and plate
MI27297 is a four-piece body molding insert kit. WQ27297 is a four-piece wheel well accent. LP27297 is the license plate bezel.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished. The finish is solid metal.
Mounting
Holding the MDX accent on the liftgate is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which QAA says will hold for a lifetime without harming the 2007-2013 Acura.
Prep
Liftgates on an SUV of this age collect hand oils, wax, and road film. Wash and dry the gate, wipe the strip's area with a residue-free cleaner, and repair any chips or weak clearcoat.
Fitting it
With the liner on, hold the strip where the photos show it. Measure each end to the gate edges, adjust until even, and mark with painter's tape. Close the gate and look from a few steps back. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward. The Installation tab has full steps.
Planning the rear
If you fit the bezel, fit this accent first and center the bezel beneath it. If you also want the hatch accent, dry-fit all the rear pieces together before peeling any liner.
Care
Hold off washing for a few days, then use mild soap and a soft cloth, never abrasive pads, and dry the gate afterward.
Choosing window trim
If you already have a pillar kit, the six-piece upper-trim package puts polish above the glass without doubling posts, and the sill set can be bought separately. Starting from nothing, the 18-piece package covers it all in one order.
Before ordering
Confirm the year range and look at the photos of this accent and the TP27297 hatch accent side by side.
Why stainless
Check each linked MDX listing for its finish if you want the gate accent to sit with the window and body trim.

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.
