Product Description
TP53105 Chevrolet Malibu 2013-2015 & Malibu Limited 2016 Stainless Trunk Accent Trim, 2.5" x 1.875", 2 Pieces
TP53105 is a two-piece polished stainless steel Trunk Hatch Accent Trim for the Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan. The note reads "2.5" Height X 1.875" Width, Between the lights".
Two model names
The title gives the Malibu for 2013-2015 and the Malibu Limited for 2016, as the fitment does. It carries two rows, one tagged "4-door, Sedan" and one tagged "4-door, Sedan, Limited". Both rows name the same cars, so the regular sedan and the Limited are each listed.
Size and position
The note gives a 2.5" height and a 1.875" width, and the position as "Between the lights". The record doesn't say whether those figures apply to each piece or to the pair, so the photos show exactly how the two pieces sit. Measure the space on your trunk and compare it with those figures before ordering. If yours looks different, call 877-752-3811.
A long list of Malibu parts
The record links twelve more QAA parts carrying the same sedan and Limited tags, including:
- RD53105: Rear Deck Accent, 1 piece, 1.375"
- RB53105: Rear Bumper Trim Accent, 1 piece
- LP53105: License Plate Bezel, 1 piece
- Rocker trims TH53105, TH53106, TH53107 and TH53108, in Lower Kit and On the rocker types
Door handle, pillar post, gas door and mirror cover sets round out the group.
Construction
The two Malibu trunk accents are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the 2013-2015 Malibu or 2016 Malibu Limited.
Preparation
Wash and dry the trunk. Clean the bonding areas with a wax-and-grease remover, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Dry fit
Hold each piece in place between the lights with the liner on. Check both sit at the same height and that the surrounding gaps look even. Mark positions with painter's tape.
Bonding
Peel the liner, align with your marks, set the piece down without sliding, and press firmly over its whole face. Repeat for the second.
Conditions
Mild, dry weather in shade. No washing for a day.
Care
Clean the Malibu trim with mild soap and a soft cloth; a non-abrasive stainless cleaner handles fingerprints.
Measuring between the lights
Use a rigid ruler to measure the height and width of the space between the lights on your trunk. Write the figures down and compare them with 2.5" and 1.875". If the space looks quite different, or you can't tell how two pieces would share it, take a photo and call us before ordering.
Tools
A rigid ruler, painter's tape, lint-free cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol. A helper standing back from the car can confirm both pieces sit at the same height. Count both pieces when the box arrives, store them flat until fitting day, and press down any raised edge the morning after.

Installation tips: Trunk Hatch 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.
