Product Description
Ford Taurus Sedan 2010-2018 Rear Deck Accent, 1.375-Inch Stainless (RD50490)
A Ford Taurus sedan from 2010 through 2018 can carry this polished stainless trunk accent. RD50490 measures 1.375 inches wide, is a single piece of 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, and is made in the USA. 3M tape holds it to the lid.

The bumper partner
Only one other part is linked: RB50490, a one-piece rear bumper trim accent for the same sedan. The data gives it no width. Fitted together, the trunk strip and the bumper accent stack two lines of polish at the rear, one on the lid and one below.
Spacing the two
If you buy both, dry-fit them with liners on and step back. Placing the trunk strip first and then the bumper piece lets you judge the gap between them by eye.
An inch and three-eighths
A moderate width that reads clearly from behind. Painter's tape cut to 1.375 inches and placed where the photos show it gives a good preview.
Steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished. The finish is the steel, not a coating, so it can't peel.
Adhesive
Fitting the 1.375" Taurus strip takes 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid on the existing surface. QAA states this tape will hold for a lifetime and leave the sedan unmarked.
Prepare the lid
Wash, dry, and wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, repeating until a clean cloth picks up nothing. Older paint can need touch-up first; repair any lifting clearcoat.
Mark the position
Leave the liner on and hold the strip where the photos show it. Measure from each end to the lid edges and mark the line with painter's tape.
Mount
Wait for a dry day without temperature extremes. Peel and press from the center toward each end. Steps are on the Installation tab.
Care
A few days without washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth.
Why stainless
Solid 304 stainless means a light scuff shows the same steel. The bumper accent's listing shows its own finish.
What it is
Decorative trim for the trunk lid. It doesn't replace a factory part, and since it rides on tape over the paint, the trunk works exactly as before.
No other side trim linked
Unlike some listings, this Taurus record links no pillar, rocker, or wheel well parts. If you want trim for other areas of the car, call and ask what is available; the trunk strip and the bumper accent are the two pieces tied to it in the data.
Light and weather on install day
Work in shade or a garage if you can. Foam tape grabs best on a surface that isn't hot from the sun or cold from the night, and indirect light makes it easier to see whether the strip is level.
Before ordering
Confirm the sedan and year, and decide whether you also want the bumper accent.

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.
