Product Description
Ford Focus Sedan 2008-2011 Rear Deck Accent, 1.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RD48345)
The Ford Focus sedan from 2008 to 2011 has eleven other QAA parts linked to it, and RD48345 is the piece for the trunk. It is a 1.75-inch strip of polished 304 stainless steel, a single piece made in the USA, and it sticks on with 3M tape.
Which Focus
4-door sedan, model years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011.
Pillar trim in three sizes
PP48345 has four pieces, PP48346 six, and PP48347 eight. There is also WP48345, a ten-piece window trim package that includes upper trim and pillar posts but no window sills. If you want the whole window line done, compare that package with the pillar kits before ordering.
Door handles: two kinds
DH48345 is an eight-piece door handle accent trim, and DH48346 is an eight-piece door handle cover kit. The names suggest accent pieces versus full covers; the photos show the difference best.
Side trim
- AT48345, a six-piece body side molding accent trim, 0.625 to 0.125 inch
- MI48345, a four-piece body molding insert kit, 1.75 to 0.563 inches
- TH48345, a two-piece rocker trim on the rocker below the door, 1 inch wide
- WQ48345, a four-piece wheel well accent set
- MC48346, a two-piece mirror cover set
The width
1.75 inches is a confident strip. MI48345's insert kit tops out at the same 1.75 inches, so the two can echo each other. Preview it by placing painter's tape of that width on the lid.
Built from
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished. The shine is in the steel, with no plating.
Held by
The 1.75" Focus accent sits on the existing surface, held there by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states it will hold for a lifetime and leave the Ford unharmed.
Clean first
Wash the trunk, dry it, and work a residue-free cleaner over the strip's footprint until the cloth no longer picks up wax or film. Repair any lifting clearcoat.
Set the line
Leave the liner on and position the strip from the photos. Measure each end to the edge of the lid, even them out, and lay painter's tape as a guide.
Press it home
On a dry day without temperature extremes, peel the liner and press from the center toward each end. Follow the Installation tab.
Afterward
Skip washing for a few days; use mild soap and a soft cloth after that.
Planning a bigger order
With this many options, it helps to pick the window approach first (pillar kit or the full package), then the door handles, then side trim. The trunk strip fits with any combination.
Why stainless
The data here doesn't list the linked Focus parts' materials; check each listing if matching the trunk to the doors matters to you. And since 304 stainless is solid, a light scuff shows the same steel rather than a base layer.
What a deck accent brings
It is decorative: a bright line across the trunk lid. It does not replace any factory part and doesn't change how the trunk opens or closes.

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.
