Product Description
Nissan Murano 2003-2007 Liftgate Accent, 0.375-Inch Polished Stainless (RT24590)
Three-eighths of an inch is about as fine as trim gets. RT24590 is a single 0.375-inch strip of polished 304 stainless steel for the Nissan Murano 4-door SUV, model years 2003 through 2007.
A tailgate accent on an SUV
QAA classifies this part as tailgate accent trim. On the Murano, the rear opening is a liftgate, so that's where the strip goes. The photos show its position.
Pinstripe width
At 0.375 inch, the strip behaves more like a pinstripe than a band: a thin bright line that catches light without changing the character of the rear. If you prefer subtle trim, that's exactly the appeal. Three-eighths-inch tape for previewing can be hard to find, so cut a wider painter's tape down with scissors, lay it in the planned spot, and look from behind the vehicle.
Length
The record doesn't list a length. Use the photos to see where the strip starts and stops, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if you want a measurement.
What it's made of
The Murano accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished and made in the USA, held to the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape lasts a lifetime without harming the Nissan.
Other Murano parts
The record links six more numbers, all for the sides and windows. PP24590 and PP24591 are pillar kits in four and six pieces. WP24590 is a twelve-piece window package with upper trim and pillar posts, no sills; WP24591 is six pieces of upper trim only. Two rocker options are listed at 1.5 inches: TH24590, a four-piece side molding insert kit, and TH24591, a six-piece kit that installs on the rocker below the door. Check each listing for its finish.
Insert or rocker?
The two rocker kits share a width but sit in different places: one in the side molding, one below the door. Their photos show the difference.
A narrow bond line
The thinner the strip, the less tape holds it, so the surface must be spotless. On a vehicle from these years, check that the liftgate paint is sound and not chalky. Wash and dry, then wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth comes back clean.
Keeping a thin line straight
Run painter's tape along the full length as a straight edge. Dry-fit the strip against it with the liner on. Peel a short section, anchor one end, and press along the guide while drawing off the liner. Sight along the strip from one end before pressing the far end. Choose a dry, mild day. The Installation tab covers each step.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth after that. Solid 304 has no plating to lift, and a thin strip like this one is easy to keep clean with a quick wipe.
What it is
Decorative trim. It doesn't replace anything, and the liftgate works as before.

Installation tips: Tailgate 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.
