Product Description
2013-2018 Toyota Avalon Rear Deck Accent, One-Piece Mirror Stainless (RD13165)
RD13165 puts a single strip of polished stainless steel across the trunk lid of the Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan from 2013 through 2018. It is 304 stainless with a mirror finish, made in the USA, and it attaches with 3M tape over the existing surface.
Which Avalon
This record covers 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. QAA lists separate parts for a later Avalon, so confirm the year on your registration before ordering.
Tail light rings and the rear set
One piece in this Avalon's lineup stands out: TR13165, a five-piece tail light ring accent. It pairs naturally with this deck accent because both sit on the back of the car. The rest of the rear set is RB13165, the rear bumper accent; LP13165, a license plate bezel; and GC13165, a gas door cover.
Pillar kits with triangle notes
The pillar lineup is well described:
- PP13165, four pieces
- PP13166, six pieces
- PP13167, eight pieces, including the rear triangle piece
- PP13168, ten pieces, including the front triangle piece
The four- and six-piece kits have no notes, so compare the photos to see what they cover.
Side trim
TH13165 is a four-piece side molding insert kit with a width of 1.187 inches. WQ13165 is a four-piece wheel well accent, one inch wide.
No width listed
The catalog does not give a width or length for this deck accent. The photos show its shape and how it sits on the trunk lid.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished. The shine is the metal itself, so there is no plating to flake.
Mounting
The 2013-2018 Avalon trunk accent is held over the existing lid surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the sedan.
Prep
Wash the trunk lid with car soap, rinse, and dry. Wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner, twice if the car has been waxed recently. Repair any chips under the trim line.
Putting it on
Dry-fit with the liner on, matching the photos. Measure from both ends to the trunk lid edges and mark the line with masking tape. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press from the middle toward each end. Wait a few days to wash. The Installation tab has more.
Planning the full rear
If you are fitting the tail light rings, bezel, and bumper accent too, lay everything out before peeling any liner. Fit the deck accent first and use it as the reference for the rest.
Care
Mild soap and a soft towel; no abrasives. Drying after a wash keeps water spots off the mirror face.
Why stainless
The polish is the steel itself, with no plated layer to wear through. If you fit the tail light rings, bezel, bumper accent, or side trim for this Avalon later, check each listing for its finish.
Before ordering
Confirm the year and sedan body, then look at the photos of each companion piece you want.

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.
