Acura MDX 2007-2013 Stainless Trunk Hatch Accent Trim TP27297, 2 Pieces
TP27297 is a two-piece polished stainless steel Trunk Accent Trim for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX 4-door SUV. Beyond the name, the record has no width or placement note, so the photos show where the two pieces go on the hatch.

What it's made from
Both MDX accent pieces start as polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA and bond to the existing liftgate with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 2007-2013 Acura.
Confirming the fit
Because the record doesn't spell out placement, compare the photos with your MDX's hatch before ordering. When the box arrives, hold each piece up with its liner still on. It should follow the surface without gaps. If not, call 877-752-3811 before going further.
Hatch preparation
- Wash and rinse the hatch.
- Dry it completely, including any seams.
- Wipe the bonding areas with a wax-and-grease remover.
- Finish with isopropyl alcohol right before fitting.
Marking positions
Use painter's tape at the ends of each piece during the dry fit. Step back to check the two look level, and open and close the hatch to confirm nothing catches.
Bonding
Peel the liner in short sections and press each one as you go. When the full piece is down, run your hand along it once more with firm pressure. Fit the second piece the same way.
Best conditions
Mild temperatures and dry air suit the tape. On a cool day, work in a garage. Leave the hatch unwashed for a day.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. For fingerprints, a non-abrasive stainless cleaner works well. Avoid scouring pads.
Tools
Painter's tape, lint-free cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol. A helper standing back from the SUV makes the level check much easier.
If the dry fit is off
Swap the two pieces in case they're reversed. If neither sits as the photos show, keep the liners on and call us with your year and a description. Store the pieces flat until you're ready, and count both on arrival.
Allow an unhurried hour for the job, most of it for cleaning and the dry fit.
Afterward
The next morning, check both pieces and press down any edge that looks slightly raised. Keep the box until then.

Installation tips: Trunk Accent 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.
