Product Description
Lincoln MKX 2016-2018 and Nautilus Rear Deck Accent, 0.625 x 46.3-Inch Stainless (RD56660)
RD56660 has a slim, exact size: 0.625 inch wide by 46.3 inches long. The title names the Lincoln MKX 2016-2018 and the Lincoln Nautilus 2019-2023; behind it, the data lists the Nautilus twice, once as 2019-2020 and once as 2019-2023. All are 4-door SUVs. The strip is one piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, with 3M tape.
Reading the fitment
- Lincoln MKX: 2016, 2017, 2018
- Lincoln Nautilus: 2019 through 2023 in the longer of the two entries
Because the two Nautilus entries disagree, owners of a later Nautilus should call to confirm before ordering.
Measure the gate
With both dimensions published, run a tape measure across your liftgate where the photos place the strip. That's just over forty-six inches long and five-eighths of an inch tall. If the length spans your gate the way you want, the size is right.
The bumper partner
RB56660, the linked rear bumper accent, is listed at 2.75 inches wide by 42 inches long, a much bolder band below this slim gate line.
Pillar kits
Four counts: PP56660 (four pieces), PP56661 (six), PP56662 (eight), and PP56663 (ten), which includes the front pillar behind the mirror.
Also linked
TH56660, a four-piece lower rocker kit 3.75 inches wide, spanning up from the bottom of the door, and GC56660, a gas door cover trim.
Material and tape
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished. The 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape mounts it over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Prep a long, thin path
Wash and dry the gate. Wipe the full length of the footprint with a residue-free cleaner until the cloth stays clean. A slim strip has little tape area, so don't skip spots.
Installing
Get a helper for a strip this long. Liner on, set it by the photos, measure from each end, and mark with painter's tape. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward.
Care
Wait a few days before washing the MKX or Nautilus, then use mild soap and a soft cloth.
What it is
Decorative trim; not a factory replacement. It mounts on tape over the paint, so the gate opens and closes just as it did.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless has no plating, so the finish is the steel itself. A light scuff from loading cargo shows more of the same metal rather than a different layer underneath.
Thin strip, careful line
At five-eighths of an inch, any tilt across forty-six inches shows. Mark both the top edge and one end with painter's tape before peeling, and check from directly behind the vehicle, not from an angle.
Planning the rear pair
If you're fitting the bumper accent, fit the gate strip first. Then hold the wider, shorter bumper piece in place with its liner on and center it under the gate strip by eye. Their published lengths make centering easy to measure.
Before ordering
Confirm your badge and year, especially on a later Nautilus, and measure the gate.

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.
