Product Description
Two-Year Fit: 2016-2017 Honda Accord Sedan Trunk Accent, 0.75-Inch Stainless (RD16281)
RD16281 fits a narrow slice of Accords: the 4-door sedan from 2016 and 2017 only. It is a one-piece rear deck accent in 304 stainless steel, polished, 0.75 inches wide, made in the USA, and supplied with 3M tape.
Why only two years matter
Because the window is so short, the model year is the first thing to confirm. An Accord from the year before or after is outside this listing. Look at your registration or the door jamb sticker before ordering.
A slim line
At three quarters of an inch wide, the strip is a restrained accent rather than a bold band. The catalog lists no length; the photos show its span across the lid.
Sport model notes on two siblings
Two linked Accord parts carry a Sport exclusion: TH16282, a two-piece rocker on the rocker 1.25 inches wide, and WQ16281, a four-piece wheel well accent 0.875 inches wide. Both say they do not fit the Sport model. This deck accent's listing has no such note, but if you own a Sport and want the full set, those two pieces are the ones to skip or ask about.
The rest of the Accord set
- RB16281, rear bumper accent
- LP16281, license plate bezel
- GC16281, gas door cover
- AT16281, four-piece body side molding accent, 1 inch wide
- TH16281, four-piece lower rocker on the doors only, 1 inch wide, spanning up from the bottom of the door
- PP16281 and PP16282, pillar kits with four and six pieces
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished. No plated layer, so nothing to lift.
Mounting
The slim 0.75" Accord accent is carried on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing trunk lid. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the 2016-2017 sedan.
Prepping the lid
Wash, rinse, and dry the trunk. Wipe the line where the strip will sit with a residue-free cleaner. A narrow piece depends on clean paint for a good bond, so take your time here.
Straight placement
Hold it in place with the liner on and compare with the photos. Measure from each end to the edges of the lid and set painter's tape along the top edge as a guide. Peel the liner on a dry day with mild temperatures and press from the center to each end. The Installation tab covers it step by step.
Pairing with the bumper accent
Doing the trunk and bumper accents together gives the rear two bright lines at different heights. Fit the trunk strip first and center the bumper piece below it.
Care
Let the tape set a few days before washing. Afterward, mild soap and a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads, and dry the lid so water does not spot the polish.
Before ordering
Confirm the year is 2016 or 2017, the body is the sedan, and decide now whether you want the bumper accent and license bezel as well. Ordering the rear pieces together means one prep session and one cure period.

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.
