Product Description
Mercedes GLB 2020-2026 Rear Hatch Accent, 0.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RD70985)
Three-quarters of an inch is a restrained width, and that suits a vehicle like the Mercedes GLB, where small details carry a lot of weight. RD70985 is a single 0.75-inch strip of polished 304 stainless steel for the GLB 4-door SUV, model years 2020 through 2026.
Where it goes
QAA lists it as a rear deck accent. The GLB has a rear liftgate rather than a trunk, so that's where the strip mounts. The product photos show the exact position.
The specifics
- One piece, 26-gauge 304 stainless
- Mirror polish, made in the USA
- Width: 0.75 inch
- 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
- Installs over the existing surface
QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
A thin line, previewed
Painter's tape comes in widths close to this one. Lay a length across the gate where the photos put the strip and look from the end of the driveway and from inside a parked car behind it. A thin line can look sharp or get lost depending on the paint color; the preview tells you which.
Other GLB parts linked to it
The record links five more part numbers. RW70985 is a two-piece rear window trim side accent set, the only other rear item. GC70985 is a gas door cover trim. PP70985, PP70986, and PP70987 are pillar kits in four, six, and eight pieces; the data doesn't note any difference among them other than piece count. Check each listing for its finish and its photos.
Fitting it with the window accents
If you're also fitting RW70985, install those first. They give you two fixed points near the top of the gate, and you can measure down from them to set this strip parallel.
Prep that matters with narrow tape
A slim strip has a slim bond line, so a clean surface counts for more. Wash the gate and dry it fully. Wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, changing cloths until one comes back spotless. If the paint has a wax or sealant, remove it under the tape area.
Applying
Dry-fit the strip with its liner on and check it against the photos. Measure from each end to the gate edges until equal, then run painter's tape along the top edge as a guide. Peel the liner, press the middle first, and work out to each end, keeping pressure firm along the whole length. A dry, mild day is ideal. The Installation tab walks through each step.
Living with it
Skip washing for a few days. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth are enough. Because the shine is polished into the steel instead of plated, a light scuff exposes more of the same metal.
Small but deliberate
A narrow accent gives the rear a highlight without dominating it, which is the point of choosing a slim strip in the first place.
To be clear
It is a decorative accent, not a factory replacement, and the liftgate operates exactly as before.

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.
