Product Description
Mini Cooper Convertible 2018-2024 Rear Deck Accent, Polished Stainless (RD72880)
RD72880 is listed for one specific car: the Mini Cooper 2-door Convertible, model years 2018 through 2024. The fitment record spells the model "Copper," a typo for Cooper; the title spells it correctly. Either way, the body style is what to check first.
Convertible, not Hardtop
Several linked Mini parts list both the Convertible and the Hardtop. This one lists only the Convertible. Don't assume it fits a Hardtop just because a sibling does; if you have a Hardtop, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
What it is
Made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish, it is one piece, cataloged as a rear deck accent. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds it over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Size
No width is recorded. Use the product photos to see where it sits on the rear deck and how far it runs, or call for a measurement.
The Mini parts around it
The record links six more numbers:
- LB72880: two-piece license bar above-plate accent, noted "Around logo," Convertible only
- GC72880: gas door cover trim, Convertible only
- AT72880: six-piece body side molding accent, an arrow shape 1.25 inches wide, Convertible and Hardtop
- DH72880: four-piece door handle surround kit, Convertible and Hardtop
- PH72880: two-piece porthole accent surround, Convertible and Hardtop
- TH72880: six-piece lower rocker kit, 1.25 to 1.5 inches, spanning from the bottom of the door up, Convertible and Hardtop
Each of those has its own listing, so check each one for its finish.
The logo area
Because the license bar is described as going around the logo, it's worth fitting the bar and this deck trim in the same session if you're buying both. Hold both up with their liners on to see how they relate before peeling either.
Prep on a small rear
Wash and dry the rear thoroughly. Wipe the strip's footprint with a residue-free cleaner, switching cloths until nothing transfers. Any wax or detail spray left there will weaken the bond.
Application
Dry-fit to the photos, then measure from each end to the nearest edges so it sits centered. Mark with painter's tape, peel the liner, and press from the center out with firm, even pressure. Choose a dry, mild day, and give the tape time before the top goes down and the car sees rain. The Installation tab has more detail.
Care
Wait a few days before washing, then use mild soap and a soft cloth. The finish is polished into solid 304 steel, so a light scuff shows more of the same metal rather than a different layer.
A note on what it isn't
It is decorative and doesn't replace any factory part. The convertible top and rear deck work as before.
Working space
A compact rear leaves little room for error, so take your time with the dry-fit and measure twice.

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.
