Product Description
Jeep Liberty 2008-2012 Stainless License Bar with Logo Cut Out (LB48070)
LB48070 puts a polished stainless steel strip above the rear plate of a Jeep Liberty while leaving the logo in view. The catalog note says With Logo Cut Out, and the fitment row is the Jeep Liberty 4-door SUV, model years 2008 through 2012. It is a single piece, cataloged as License Bar, Above plate accent Trim.
Build
The bar is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The Liberty bar attaches over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. No width is listed on the sheet.
Fit check in three steps
First step: check the Liberty's year. Anything from 2008 through 2012 is on the listing. Step two: look at the logo above your plate. The cutout is made to frame it, so it should still be there and in its original position. Step three: look for anything else in that area. The sheet has no note about key access or a camera opening. Compare the product photos with your Liberty. If any step raises a doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote LB48070.
Install around the logo
Wash, rinse and dry the area. Wipe it with rubbing alcohol, working the cloth along the edges of the logo, where old wax sits. Hold the bar in place with the liner on and center the logo inside the cutout. Check that the bar looks level from behind the vehicle. Put a short piece of painter's tape at each end. Peel the liner, line up again and press firmly along the full length, then around the opening. Press a second time a minute later. Close the liftgate gently for the first day. The Installation tab gives temperature guidance.
Another logo-cut part on the list
MI48070, a four-piece body molding insert kit at 1.5", carries the same With Logo Cut Out note in its own listing. The catalog doesn't say which logo it frames or where, so check its photos. RD48070 is a one-piece part cataloged as Rear Deck Accent, also at 1.5".
The rest of the Liberty parts
GC48070 is a one-piece gas door cover trim and LP48070 a one-piece license plate bezel. PP48070 and PP48071 are pillar post kits of four and six pieces. SGC48070 is a one-piece grill overlay marked SPORT only, a restriction that applies to the overlay, not this bar. TH48070 and WS48070 are named by number only on this sheet. Check each listing's photos for its finish.
Older paint
Paint on a Liberty from these years may have chips or worn clear coat near the plate. Tape needs sound paint, so inspect closely and fix any flaking first.
The Fitment tab repeats the vehicle row and the Specs tab lists the UPC, so you can match both against your order.
Care is simple: mild soap and water and a soft towel.

Installation tips: License Bar, Above plate accent Trim
- 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.
