Product Description
Kia Optima 2006.5-2010 Roof Insert, 2-Piece, 0.5-Inch Polished Stainless (RI27805)
The "2006.5" in the title matters. RI27805 fits the Kia Optima 4-door sedan from 2006 through 2010, but the record also sets a production-date condition: it only fits vehicles made after June 2006. A 2006 Optima built earlier in the year isn't covered.
Finding your build date
The manufacture date is usually printed on the label in the door jamb, shown as a month and year. If yours reads after June 2006, or the car is a 2007 to 2010, you're in range. If it's a 2006 built in or before June, or you can't find the label, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
The same condition throughout
Every linked Optima part in this record carries the same "after 2006 Jun" note, so the build-date check applies to the whole set, not just this listing.
The part
Two pieces of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished, made in the USA, each 0.5 inch wide. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds them over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. No length is listed; the photos show the layout.
Linked Optima parts
LP27805 is a license plate bezel, listed with a 7 in its width field. GC27805 covers the gas door. PP27805 and PP27806 are four- and six-piece pillar kits. WP27805 is a twelve-piece window package with upper trim and pillar posts, no sills. Two rocker kits are listed: TH27805, four pieces on the rocker below the door at 4.51 inches, and TH27806, a four-piece side molding insert kit at 1.5 inches. Check each listing for its finish.
Older paint, careful prep
Wash and dry the roof. Look closely at the paint where the tape will sit; faded or chalky clearcoat should be polished or repaired first so the tape has a sound surface. Finish with a residue-free cleaner until a clean cloth stays clean.
Putting them on
Dry-fit each piece with the liner on and line it up to the photos. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel a short length of liner, anchor one end, then press steadily along the strip as you remove the rest. Fit the second insert and compare. A dry, mild day is best. See the Installation tab.
Living with it
Wait a few days before washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth. Solid 304 has no plating, so scuffs show the same steel.
Planning several pieces
If you're fitting the window package or pillar kit as well, do the windows first and the roof last. The upper window trim gives you a visual reference for how the roof lines should run, and you'll only need the step stools out once.
Thin strips and level
A half-inch strip shows any wander along its length. Sight down it from the front of the car before pressing the far end.
Not a replacement
It's decorative trim; nothing factory is removed or replaced.

Installation tips: Roof Insert Trim
- 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.
