Product Description
Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2020 Rear Deck Accent, 1.25-Inch Polished Stainless (RD13527)
RD13527 is a one-piece, 1.25-inch-wide polished stainless steel accent for the rear liftgate of the Nissan Pathfinder 4-door SUV, model years 2013 through 2020. It is made in the USA from 304 stainless with a mirror finish and mounts with 3M tape over the existing surface.
Eight model years
2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, all for the 4-door SUV. The data does not split the record by trim, so the same part is cataloged for any Pathfinder in that span. Your registration confirms the year.
A clean, simple line
At an inch and a quarter, this accent is a measured touch: visible, but not overpowering. QAA names it a rear deck accent; on the Pathfinder, that panel is the rear gate.
Linked QAA pieces
- LP13527, a license plate bezel
- GC13527, a gas door cover
- MI13527, a six-piece body molding insert kit, 0.75 inches wide
- PP13527, PP13528, and PP13529, pillar kits of four, six, and eight pieces; the eight-piece kit includes the rear triangle piece
Bezel and deck accent together
The license plate bezel is the natural partner for this trim. Both sit on the back of the SUV, and pairing them gives the rear a polished line and a frame; check the other listing for its finish. Install the bezel first and center the deck trim above it.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The finish is part of the metal, not a plated coat, so it will not peel.
Mounting
Mounting the 1.25" Pathfinder strip takes 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, this tape will hold for a lifetime and leave the Nissan unharmed.
Liftgate prep
Liftgates collect road film and handprints. Wash the panel, dry it, and wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner. If the paint has a sealant or a recent wax, wipe a second time. Repair any chips along the line before installing.
Install
Dry-fit with the liner on and compare to the product photos. Measure from each end to the liftgate edges or the badge, and mark the Pathfinder line with masking tape. Step back to check it looks level. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press firmly from the center out. Wait a few days to wash. The Installation tab covers every step.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Rinse grit away before wiping, and keep abrasive pads off the polished face.
Fitting the side molding inserts
If you want polished steel along the sides as well, the six-piece molding insert kit is listed at 0.75 inches, a slimmer line than this deck trim. Together they give the Pathfinder a consistent, restrained look front to back.
Why polished stainless
The bright finish is the steel itself rather than a plated layer, so it holds its look through regular washing. Check each linked Pathfinder listing for its finish if you want the rear and sides consistent.

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.
