Product Description
Navigator and Expedition 2015-2017 Rear Deck Accent, 2.188-Inch Stainless (RD55655)
RD55655 is titled for the Lincoln Navigator, yet its fitment includes the Ford Expedition too, both 2015 through 2017, 4-door SUV. The strip is 2.188 inches wide, one piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, with 3M tape.
Two badges
- Lincoln Navigator: 2015, 2016, 2017
- Ford Expedition: 2015, 2016, 2017
The data doesn't describe any difference in the strip between the two, and the title lists the Expedition beside the Navigator for the same three years.
A broad band
About two and three-sixteenths inches. On a large liftgate it is a confident stripe. Preview it with painter's tape of the same width laid where the photos show the strip.
Linked parts
Two are listed: GC55655, a gas door cover trim, and PP55384, a six-piece pillar post trim. The pillar kit's number doesn't follow this strip's pattern, but the data tags it for the same 4-door SUV listing. Call if you want to confirm it suits your vehicle.
Where it goes
The category is rear deck accent; on these SUVs it's the liftgate.
The steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished. The finish is the metal, not a coating, so there is nothing to wear through.
The tape
The 2.188" deck strip for the Expedition and Navigator goes on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
Prepping a big gate
A wide strip needs a clean surface across its whole footprint. Wash and dry the gate, then wipe the full area with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth shows no residue. Repair any chips or loose clearcoat.
Placement with a helper
On a large SUV, a second person makes alignment easier. Hold the strip with the liner on, measure from each end to the gate edges, and tape both the top and bottom edges so it goes on level.
Applying
Choose a dry, mild day. Peel the liner and press from the center outward across the full width. Details are on the Installation tab.
Care
Let the tape settle a few days before washing. Mild soap, soft cloth.
What it is
This Navigator and Expedition piece is decorative and doesn't replace a factory part.
Why stainless
Solid 304 stainless shows more of the same steel under a light scuff. Cargo going in and out can scuff a liftgate over time; on solid polished steel, that kind of light mark doesn't uncover a different color or base layer, and the strip keeps the same bright look from edge to edge.
Three years, one record
The data covers only 2015 through 2017 for both badges. A Navigator or Expedition from outside those years is on a different listing, so check the registration rather than going by appearance.
Clearance check
Before you peel the liner, check that the strip clears any badge, handle or camera on your vehicle.
Before ordering
Confirm badge and year, and try 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.
