RD57260 spans the Cadillac XT5 from 2017 all the way to 2026, ten model years of the 4-door SUV on one listing. It's a 1.25-inch strip of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel for the liftgate, made in the USA as a single piece, with 3M tape.

Four pillar kits with clear notes
The XT5 pillar kits are unusually well described, and the notes explain the higher counts:
- PP57260: four pieces
- PP57261: six pieces
- PP57262: ten pieces, including two front pillars ahead of the mirror
- PP57263: twelve pieces, including two front pillars and one triangle piece ahead of the mirror
Sliding rear window trim
RW57260 is a two-piece accent listed as sliding rear window trim. The data doesn't explain where those two pieces sit on the XT5, so check the photos before ordering it.

Width preview
An inch and a quarter on the gate. Painter's tape cut to match and placed where the photos show the strip will tell you whether you like it.
Material
The XT5 accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless polished to a mirror, with no plated layer.
Attachment
The XT5 accent goes on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
Prep
Wash and dry the gate. Clean the footprint with a residue-free product, using fresh cloths until one comes back clean. On an older XT5, look for chips or soft clearcoat and fix them first.
Placing the strip and bezel
If LP57260 is in your order, hold it and the deck strip up with liners on. Settle the strip's line first, measuring from each end to the gate edges, and mark it with painter's tape.
Pressing
Pick a dry day with mild weather. Peel the liner and press from the middle out to each end; the Installation tab has every step.
Care
Give it a few days before the first wash, then stick to mild soap and a soft cloth.
What it is
Decorative trim; it doesn't replace any factory part, and the liftgate works exactly as before.
Why stainless
Solid 304 shows the same steel under a light scuff. The mirror finish comes from polishing the metal, not from a plated layer, so it cleans up with mild soap.
Ten years on one strip
The record lists no trim-level exclusions across 2017 to 2026, so whichever XT5 you have in that span, this is the listed strip. If your gate has aftermarket badges or accessories where the strip would go, compare against the photos first.
Wheel wells without gaskets
WQ57260 is noted as installing with 3M adhesive and no gasket, the same tape-on approach as this strip.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, and if pillars are on your list, decide whether you want the front pillar pieces.

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.
