The full year list
2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. The fitment notes no trim exclusions for the deck accent.
On the Journey's gate
The catalog name is rear deck accent. For an SUV like the Journey, that means the rear liftgate; check the product photos for the exact spot.
Rocker kit with a tall span
TH49945 is the linked rocker kit: four pieces, on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to 4.25 to 4.375 inches. That is a tall band of steel along the sides, and it sets the scale for the two-inch strip at the back. The data doesn't say whether the kit covers the rear doors in a particular way, so the photos are the guide for that.

Preview the two inches
Cut painter's tape to two inches and lay it across the gate where the photos place the strip. Look from the end of the driveway to judge it.
Steel
The strip is 26-gauge 304 stainless, polished to a mirror finish, with no plated coating.
Bond
For the Journey, the 2" strip is pressed onto the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Dodge.
Older or newer Journey, same prep
Whether yours is an early or late model, wash and dry the gate, then clean the strip's footprint with a residue-free product until the cloth shows nothing. Older paint can need chips or soft clearcoat repaired first.
Lay it out
With the liner on, position the strip from the photos. Measure each end to the gate's edges, even them, and mark the line with painter's tape. If you're fitting the plate bezel, hold it up too so the spacing works.
Stick it
Choose a dry, moderate day. Peel the liner and press from the center outward across the full two inches. Details are on the Installation tab.
Aftercare
Let it sit a few days before washing. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive products.
Why stainless
To match the sills, pillars, and rockers to the gate strip, confirm each linked Journey part's finish on its own listing. A light scuff shows the same steel.
What it is
Decorative trim. It brings a polished band and does not replace a factory part.
Before ordering
Confirm the year falls in the range and run the tape preview.

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.
