Product Description
Hyundai Elantra 2017-2018 Sedan Trunk Accent, 1.5-Inch Mirror Stainless (RD17340)
RD17340 fits the Hyundai Elantra 4-door sedan from 2017 and 2018. It is a one-piece rear deck accent, 1.5 inches wide, in 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. QAA makes it in the USA and ships it with 3M tape.
A two-year listing
Only two model years are covered, so the first step is confirming your Elantra's year. The registration or the label in the door jamb shows it. The sedan body is the only one listed; an Elantra with a different body style is not part of this record.
The only linked piece: the bumper accent
This Elantra has a short lineup in QAA's data. The one linked part is RB17340, a one-piece rear bumper accent. That makes the decision easy: the trunk strip alone, or the trunk strip and the bumper accent together for two bright lines across the back.
Why order both
Installing both at once means you clean the rear once, dry-fit both pieces against each other, and let the tape cure on both at the same time. It also lets you judge the spacing between the two lines before either liner comes off.
Width
One and a half inches is a clear, readable band on a sedan trunk without overpowering it. The catalog does not list a length; the photos show the span.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror. Solid metal, with no plated top coat that could chip or blister.
How it attaches
On the 2017-2018 Elantra, the strip goes over the existing trunk finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage.
Preparing the trunk
Wash the trunk lid with car soap and dry it. Wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner; if you use a spray wax, wipe twice to remove it. Look for chips along the line and repair them before installing.
Lining it up
Hold the strip against the lid with the liner on and compare with the photos. Measure from each end to the lid edges, adjust until the gaps match, and run painter's tape along the top edge. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press from the middle outward.
Step back
Before peeling, walk several steps behind the car and look straight on. A strip this wide is easy to see, which means it is also easy to see if it is a little off. Taking a moment here saves a headache.
Aftercare
Give it a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft towel, no scouring pads or compounds. Drying after a wash keeps spots off the polished face.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless shines without a coating, so check the bumper accent's listing for its finish. If you fit the bumper accent later, it will still look like it came in the same box.

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.
