Product Description
Ford Crown Victoria 1998-2000 Two-Piece Rear Deck Accent, 6 Inches Wide (RD38360)
RD38360 is a two-piece rear deck accent set for the Ford Crown Victoria 4-door sedan, model years 1998, 1999, and 2000. Its listed width is 6 inches, which is a lot of polished metal for a trunk. Both pieces are 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, made in the USA, and mounted with 3M tape. The two-piece set is listed for the 1998-2000 Crown Victoria sedan.
Six inches of stainless
A 6-inch figure means this set covers a broad panel of the deck. The catalog does not say whether that width belongs to each piece or describes the set, and it does not give a length, so the photos are important here. Call if you need measurements.
Two pieces, layout in the photos
The data gives the piece count but does not describe how the two pieces divide the trunk. Study the product photos to see the arrangement before you order.
Three model years
1998 through 2000, the 4-door sedan. A Crown Victoria from outside those years is not covered here.
Stands alone
No other QAA parts are linked to this Crown Victoria listing in the data. The deck trim is the only rear piece for this car in the record, so the decision is whether you want that much polish at the rear.
The steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished to a mirror. The finish is in the metal itself; there is no plated layer to lift on a piece this large.
The tape
For the Crown Victoria, both deck pieces attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the set sits on the existing surface. Per QAA, the tape lasts a lifetime without damaging the Ford.
A big footprint on old paint
A car from these years has decades of sun and washing behind it. With six inches of trim going on, every part of the area underneath has to be sound. Wash, dry, and inspect the deck in daylight. Strip old wax with a residue-free cleaner until the cloth stays clean. Repair any flaking or chalky clearcoat, because wide tape will only hold as well as the paint it touches.
Dry-fitting two wide pieces
Lay both pieces on the deck with their liners still on. Match the photos, then mark the outline of each with painter's tape. Check that the gap between them looks even and that both sit square to the lid edges. Step back several feet before committing.
Pressing them on
Choose a dry, mild day. Peel one piece and press from its center outward, working across the full width so the long edges seat. Recheck the second piece against the first, then install it the same way. The Installation tab has more detail.
Living with it
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth; no compounds on the mirror face. After the first wash, press the edges by hand once more.

Installation tips: Rear Deck Accent
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
