Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu 2016-2025 Trunk Accent, 0.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RD56105)
A ten-year fitment makes RD56105 easy to order: it fits the Chevrolet Malibu sedan from 2016 through 2025. The strip is three-quarters of an inch wide, a single piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel made in the USA, and it mounts with 3M tape.
Every year in the range
2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. 4-door sedan, with no trim exclusions listed for this accent.
Stacking the rear
Three linked parts are for the back of the Malibu, joining this strip:
- BL56105, a one-piece brake light trim
- LP56105, a license plate bezel
- RB56105, a rear bumper trim accent, 2.0 inches wide
The bumper piece is a much wider band than this 0.75-inch trunk line. Tape out both widths if you want to see the contrast.
Side choices
- TH56105: eight-piece lower kit, tapered 1.5 to 2.0 inches, spanning up from the door bottom
- TH56106: two pieces on the rocker below the door, 1.25 inches
- WQ56105: four-piece wheel well accent, 0.875 inch
Mirrors, pillars, and fuel door
MA56105 is a two-piece mirror accent trim and MC56105 a two-piece mirror cover set; the names suggest an accent strip versus a full cover, and the photos show which is which. PP56105 and PP56106 are pillar kits in four and six pieces, and GC56105 is a gas door cover trim.
Material
The Malibu accent: mirror-polished 26-gauge 304 stainless, no plated layer.
Mounting
The 0.75" Malibu accent goes over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Prep for a slim strip
Less width means less tape, so the surface has to be spotless. Wash and dry the lid, then wipe the strip's path with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth stays clean. Repair any soft clearcoat on older cars in the range.
Getting it straight
A three-quarter-inch line shows every degree of tilt. With the liner on, set the strip by the photos, measure from each end to the lid edges, and mark the line with painter's tape. Check from directly behind.
Pressing
Dry, mild day; peel and press from the middle out. Then fit the brake light trim, bezel, and bumper accent if you ordered them. The Installation tab has the steps.
Care
First wash after a few days; mild soap and a soft cloth on the Malibu accent.
What it is
Decorative trim; not a factory replacement. It sits on tape over the paint, so the trunk opens, closes, and locks as before.
Why stainless
Solid 304 shows the same steel under a light scuff, and the polish needs nothing stronger than mild soap to stay bright.
A width that echoes the wheel wells
At 0.75 inch, this trunk line is close to the 0.875-inch wheel well accents. If you fit both, the rear and the wheel openings carry trim of similar weight, while the bumper accent and the lower rocker kit bring the bolder bands.
Before ordering
Check that it's a sedan and the right year, and choose all the rear pieces you want so they can be fitted together.

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.
