Product Description
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2019-2026 Tailgate Trim, 4-Inch Polished Stainless (RT59170)
RT59170 puts a 4-inch band of polished stainless across the tailgate of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, model years 2019 through 2026. It's a single piece, and the fitment covers 2-door and 4-door pickups.
1500 trucks
The fitment tag is 1500. Heavy-duty Silverados aren't named on this listing, so an HD owner should call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 rather than order it. Any cab qualifies within the 2-door and 4-door tags.
The steel
For the Silverado, the accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished and made in the USA, held to the tailgate as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape keeps its grip for a lifetime without damage.
What the record leaves open
There's no cutout note and no placement note, and the data doesn't say whether the piece clears the tailgate badging or handle on every trim. The product photos are the reference. If your gate has lettering or a camera in the area the photos show, send us a picture before ordering.
Visualize four inches
Cut a band of painter's tape about four inches tall and lay it across the gate where the photos place the trim. Look at it from across the driveway. That simple check tells you whether the proportion suits your truck. We can give you the length.
Linked trim for the 1500
The record links a large set, mostly tagged by cab:
- Crew cab: PP59171, PP59172 and PP59173 pillar kits, WP59170 and WP59171 window packages, TH59170 rocker kit, WS59170 window sills, AT59170 side accents.
- Double cab: PP59176 and PP59177 pillar kits, AT59175 side accents, DH59175 door handle accents.
- Any cab: GC59170 gas door cover trim and WQ59170 wheel well accents.
Match the tags to your truck, and check each listing for its finish.
Prep the tailgate
Wash, then dry thoroughly. Wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, switching to a fresh cloth each time, until nothing transfers. If the clearcoat is chipped or peeling where the strip goes, repair it first.
Install it straight
Measure from the tailgate edges to place the panel as the photos show, and mark the top edge with painter's tape. Dry-fit with the liner attached. Then peel a few inches, anchor that end, and work across while pulling the liner. Press firmly along both long edges. Dry, mild weather helps the tape bond. The Installation tab covers it all.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth from then on.
Planning a bigger build
If you're fitting several of the linked parts, clean every footprint in one session and install from the top of the truck down. Doing the tailgate last keeps it from being leaned on while you work on the doors and pillars. Keep the liners on everything until each piece is dry-fitted.
Built for a truck tailgate
Polished 304 is solid steel, so knocks from cargo show more of the same steel instead of exposing a base layer under a plating.
Decorative
It replaces nothing; the tailgate 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.
