Product Description
Ram HD 2500 and 3500, 2010-2018 Top Tailgate Accent, Polished Stainless (RTT50936)
RTT50936 is QAA's top tailgate accent for the heavy-duty Ram: one polished stainless piece for the Ram HD 2500 HD and 3500 HD, model years 2010 through 2018, 2-door and 4-door pickups.
The width note
The width field lists 1.5 inches, and the product note reads 2" to 1.5" Width. The data doesn't explain whether the piece narrows from one figure to the other along its length or varies some other way. The product photos show its shape; for exact dimensions, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
"Top" tailgate accent
The note also names it "Top Tailgate Accent Trim," which separates it from RT50937, the linked tailgate accent listed at 2.75 inches with no placement note. If you're thinking of using both, look at both sets of photos together to see where each goes on the gate.
HD trucks
The fitment is tagged 2500 HD and 3500 HD. A light-duty Ram isn't covered on this listing.
Construction
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror, made in the USA. It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so the accent goes over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Prep on a working truck
Trucks from these years have usually seen real use. Check the paint where the accent sits and repair any chips or peeling first, since tape holds only the top layer. Wash, dry, and wipe the area with a residue-free cleaner, several passes with clean cloths, until nothing transfers.
Placing a shaped piece
When a part isn't a plain rectangle, match it to the photos with the liner on before anything else. Note which end is which, then mark its outline with painter's tape. Peel from one end, set it to the marks, and press along to the other end. Finish with firm pressure on every edge. A dry, mild day is best; see the Installation tab.
The rest of the linked Ram HD trim
Alongside RT50937, the record links MI50937 molding insert, RWB50937 under rear window accents, TH50937 rocker insert kit (crew cab, standard bed), HT50937 hood accent, and WS50937 window sills for the crew cab. Check each listing for its finish and tags.
Install order
If you're fitting the rear window accents and tailgate accent too, work from the top of the truck down, so you don't lean on fresh tape below. Clean every footprint in one session, then dry-fit the two tailgate pieces together with painter's tape before either liner comes off.
Why stainless
Solid 304 has no plating, so scrapes from loading show the same steel. That matters on a heavy-duty truck, where the tailgate takes hits from cargo, hitches and boots, and it means the shine can be polished back rather than lost.
Care
Wait a few days to wash, then mild soap and a soft cloth.
Decorative
It replaces nothing, and 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.
