Product Description
Kia Optima 2016-2020 Rear Deck Accent, 1.2-Inch Polished 304 Stainless (RD16805)
RD16805 is a single trunk accent for the Kia Optima 4-door sedan, model years 2016 through 2020. QAA lists it at 1.2 inches wide. It is 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA, and it attaches over the existing surface with 3M tape.
The fitment
Five years are listed: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, all for the sedan. Confirm your year before ordering.
Strip width
Just over an inch wide, it sits in the middle range for a trunk strip. The catalog does not publish a length, so check the photos for its span.
An Optima lineup with unusual pieces
Beyond pillar and rocker parts, this Optima's linked list includes some less typical pieces:
- PB16805, a two-piece porthole accent, surround ring only, no center strip
- RI16805, a two-piece roof insert, 0.625 inches wide
- AT16805, a two-piece body side molding accent, 1 inch wide, on the rocker
- AT16806, a four-piece body side molding accent, 1 inch wide, upper fitment
Lower fitment versus upper fitment
The two AT kits are easy to mix up. AT16805 is noted as the on-the-rocker accent and AT16806 as the upper fitment. Look at the photos of both to see which line on your doors each one follows.
More Optima trim
TH16805 is a four-piece rocker kit with a tapered width from 1.375 to 1.625 inches, installing below the door on the rocker. WQ16805 is a six-piece wheel well accent, 0.875 inches wide.

Material
The 1.2-inch Optima accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless polished to a mirror, with no plating to wear through.
Mounting
For the 2016-2020 Optima, the 1.2" accent is held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the paint.
Prep
Wash and dry the trunk lid, then wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner. If the paint has a chip under the line, repair it and let it cure.
Install
Dry-fit with the liner on, using the photos as a reference. Measure each end to the lid edges and mark with painter's tape. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press from the center outward. The Installation tab has more detail.
Care
Give it a few days before washing. Mild soap, a soft cloth, and no abrasive pads.
Thinking about widths
The trunk accent is 1.2 inches, the body side molding accents are 1 inch, the wheel well accent is 0.875, and the window sills are 0.5. If you are combining several, the photos help you judge how these slightly different widths will look together from a distance.

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.
