RT55195's title and fitment name four SUVs: the Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, all 2015 through 2020, 4-door. It's one polished stainless piece listed at 2.25 inches wide.
Four badges, one record
QAA files it as tailgate accent trim; on these SUVs that means the rear liftgate. Compare the product photos with the back of your own SUV before ordering. If you have the Escalade, Tahoe or Yukon and want certainty, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Material
This 2.25" piece for the Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished in the USA. It mounts over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which QAA states will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
The rest of the rear
Several rear pieces are linked to this record:
- BI55195, a rear bumper accent listed at 0.875 inches.
- TGH55195, a tailgate handle accent.
- LB55195, a two-piece license bar extension listed at 1.25 inches.
- LP55195, a license plate bezel.
There are also PP55195 and PP55196 pillar kits and GC55195 gas door cover trim. Check each listing for its finish and fitment tags.
Planning the layout
With a handle accent, license bar and bezel all near the liftgate accent, it helps to mock up the whole rear with painter's tape first. Lay strips the listed widths where each photo shows its part, step back, and adjust. Ask us for lengths if you want the mock-up exact.
Clean the liftgate
Wash and dry, then wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, switching to a fresh cloth each pass until nothing transfers. Avoid wax or detail spray beforehand. Check that the paint in that spot is sound.
Installing
Dry-fit with the liner on. Measure from the liftgate edges to set the trim where the photos show it, and mark the top edge with painter's tape. Peel from one end, anchor it, and press across as the liner comes off. Firm pressure on both long edges matters most. Work on a dry, mild day; the Installation tab has details.
Care
Leave it for a few days before washing, then use mild soap and a soft cloth. The polish is in the steel itself.
Which year is my SUV?
The door-jamb label and your registration both show the model year. The window here is 2015 to 2020 for all four nameplates; an earlier or newer SUV isn't covered by this listing even if the liftgate looks similar.
Order of work
If you're installing several rear pieces, put the highest one on first and work downward, so your hands don't brush fresh tape on the parts below. Clean all footprints in one pass, then install them back to back while the surfaces are still fresh.
Decorative
It sits on top of the paint and replaces nothing; the liftgate opens as normal.

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.
