Product Description
Honda Pilot 2016-2022 Liftgate Accent, 0.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RD16260)
RD16260 is a thin, single strip of mirror-polished 304 stainless for the back of the Honda Pilot 4-door SUV, model years 2016 through 2022. It measures 0.75 inches wide, it is made in the USA, and it mounts over the existing surface with 3M tape.
Seven Pilot years
The listing runs 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. A Pilot from outside those years is not part of this record.
Liftgate, not trunk
QAA's part name is rear deck accent. The Pilot has a liftgate, and that is where this strip goes.
A width that matches the license bar
Here is a detail worth noticing: LB16260, the license bar above the plate, is also listed at 0.75 inches wide. Install both and you get two parallel lines of the same width on the gate, which tends to look intentional rather than pieced together.
Rear pieces for the Pilot
- LB16260, license bar, 0.75 inches wide
- LP16260, license plate bezel that includes access for the rear backup camera
- TP16260, a two-piece trunk hatch accent
- GC16260, gas door cover
The camera opening
The bezel listing calls out access for the rear backup camera. That note belongs to LP16260; this deck accent's listing makes no camera mention, so if the camera matters to you, the bezel is the piece to read closely.
Order of work
Start with this accent at the top of the gate, then the license bar, then the bezel. Two strips of the same width are easiest to keep parallel when the upper one is already set and you can measure down from it at each end.
Pillar kits with real notes
Two of the Pilot's pillar kits carry coverage notes. PP16260 has four pieces and includes the top crease. PP16261 has six and PP16262 has eight, with no notes. PP16263 has ten pieces and includes the front pillar behind the mirror.
Lower body
TH16260 is a four-piece lower rocker kit, 1.25 inches wide, spanning up from the bottom of the door. WQ16260 is a six-piece wheel well accent, 1.5 inches wide.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished. The shine is the metal itself, with no plating.
Mounting
The Pilot's 0.75" strip attaches over the existing liftgate surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Honda.
Clean surface, firm bond
A narrow strip carries a narrow band of tape, so the bond depends on clean paint. Wash and dry the gate, wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, and keep fingers off it afterward.
Install
Dry-fit with the liner on and compare to the photos. Measure each end to the gate edges and lay painter's tape as a guide line; a thin strip shows any tilt. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward. Wait a few days before washing. The Installation tab has the details.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth, no abrasive pads. Dry after washing to avoid spots.

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.
