Product Description
Honda Pilot 2023-2026 Rear Hatch Accent, 1-Inch Polished Stainless (RD73260)
RD73260 is a one-inch polished stainless strip for the rear hatch of the Honda Pilot 4-door SUV, model years 2023 through 2026. It's one piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, mounting with 3M tape.
Lettering, or a line, or both
The Pilot's record includes a notable option for the hatch: SGR73260, a five-piece "PILOT" rear hatch letter insert set. That spells the name on the hatch. This strip runs a horizontal line. Some owners will want one, some both. The photos of each are the best way to picture them together; check the letter listing for its finish.
Size and look
At one inch, the strip is noticeable without dominating the hatch. Preview it with one-inch painter's tape placed where the product photos show it.
Mounting
It goes on over the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Nothing to remove. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
The full Pilot list
For the windows there are pillar kits PP73260, PP73261, and PP73262 in four, six, and eight pieces; WP73260, a fourteen-piece package with upper trim and pillar posts but no sills; and WP73261, six pieces of upper trim only. RW73260 is a two-piece rear window side accent set.
Lower down, TH73260 is a four-piece lower accent rocker kit on the doors only, 4 inches wide. GC73260 is the gas door cover. For handles, DH73260 and DH73260B are both four-piece door handle cover kits; the data doesn't state the difference between them, so compare photos. MC73260B is a two-piece mirror cover set for mirrors without a turn signal.
Check each listing for its finish before mixing pieces.
Order of work at the rear
If you're fitting the rear window accents and letters, do the window pieces first, then this strip, then the letters, so you place each item with the others already in view.
Prep
Wash the hatch and dry it well. Clean the footprint with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth stays clean. Repair chips under the tape line first.
Placing it
Liner on, set the strip to the photos and measure from each end to the hatch edges. When they match, mark the top edge with painter's tape. Peel and press from the center outward. A dry, mild day helps. The Installation tab has the steps.
Care and durability
No washing for a few days. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth. Polished 304 has no plating, so a light scuff shows the same steel underneath.
Choosing between the window packages
If you're thinking about window trim as well, the decision is mainly whether you want the pillar posts included. WP73260 includes them; WP73261 is upper trim alone, which suits owners who already have, or plan to buy, one of the pillar kits.
What it is
A decorative overlay. It replaces nothing and leaves the hatch working 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.
