Product Description
Ford Flex 2009-2019 Lower Rear Deck Accent, Polished Stainless (RD49340)
RD49340 covers eleven years of the Ford Flex: 2009 through 2019, 4-door SUV. The catalog marks this one-piece accent as "Lower," which suggests a low position on the rear; the photos confirm where it goes. It is mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, mounted with 3M tape.
Eleven model years
Every Flex year from 2009 through 2019, all in one body style, the 4-door SUV.
What "Lower" means here
The only placement detail in the data is that single word. It doesn't give a width or length, so use the product photos to see exactly where the strip sits on the back of the Flex, and call if you want a measurement.
A deep list of Flex parts
Nine other parts link to this record:
- AT49340, a sixteen-piece body side molding accent trim, 0.5 inch
- MI49340, a six-piece body molding insert kit, tapered from 1.156 to 1.5 inches
- PP49340, PP49341, PP49342: pillar post trim in four, six, and eight pieces
- TH49340, an eight-piece lower rocker kit, 1.75 inches, spanning up from the bottom of the door
- WQ49340, a six-piece wheel well set cut to fit with a rocker kit
- WQ49341, a six-piece full-length wheel well set
- GC49340, a gas door cover trim
Rocker and wheel well pairing
If you buy TH49340, the cut-to-fit wheel well set WQ49340 is the one meant to meet it. Without the rocker kit, choose the full-length WQ49341.
Steel and finish
26-gauge 304 stainless with a mirror polish, and no plating to wear through.
Tape
On the Flex, the deck accent fastens with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and sits on the liftgate surface as it is. Per QAA, that tape holds for a lifetime without harming the Ford.
Prep low on the rear
The lower part of any vehicle's back end collects road spray. Wash thoroughly, dry, and wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner more than once until the cloth comes away clean. Repair chips first.
Line it up
With the liner still attached, hold the strip where the photos show it. Measure from each end to fixed reference points on the rear, make them equal, and mark with painter's tape.
Press
Pick a dry, mild day. Peel and press from the center outward. The Installation tab has the steps.
Care
Give it a few days before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth. A low strip catches more spray, so rinse it when you wash the rest of the rear and dry it off.
What a deck accent is
Decorative bright trim for the rear. It doesn't replace a factory part.
Why stainless
If you want this piece to match the side moldings, pillars, and wheel wells, check their listings for material. Solid 304 shows the same steel under a light scuff.
Before ordering
Check your year, study the photos for placement, and decide on the rocker kit before choosing wheel well 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.
