Product Description
Acura MDX 2007-2013 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ27297, 4 Pieces
WQ27297 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX 4-door SUV. The listing says "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". No width is given.
Fitment
MDX SUV, 2007-2013. Those are the only years on the record. If your MDX's arches look different from the photos, check with 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Contents
Four polished stainless pieces, each edged in black rubber gasket. The record doesn't list a width or label the corners; the photos show the look and where each one goes.
Material
The MDX arch set is four pieces that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, all carried on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the 2007-2013 Acura.
Ordering notes
No rocker kit is linked in the MDX group. MI27297 is a four-piece body molding insert kit; if you want it as well, the record doesn't say whether it meets the wheel well trim, so check the photos or ask 877-752-3811. Window trim comes as WP27297, an eighteen-piece full package with sills, or WP27298, six pieces of upper trim only.
Preparing the MDX
Get a step stool and a work light in place first. Then the cleaning: shampoo each arch, rinse it, and dry it, letting the lip drain completely. Next, inspect. Old adhesive comes off with a plastic scraper; wax and polish come off with wax-and-grease remover; chips get repaired. When the band is clean, leave it alone until fitting time, and give it a single isopropyl alcohol wipe just before its piece.
Fitting each piece
- Hold the piece in position on its liner; tape both ends with painter's tape.
- Check the gasket all round from a step back and up close.
- Uncover a short length of adhesive at one end and press.
- Carry on along the arch in short stages until the whole piece is bonded.
- Fit the next opening and compare.
MDX group
Pillar sets PP27297 (4) and PP27298 (6), a six-piece window sill set, a two-piece trunk hatch accent, a rear deck accent and a license plate bezel are linked.
Care
Count the four pieces when the box arrives. After fitting, skip washing for a day; then mild soap and a soft cloth, with no pressure washer aimed at the gasket. Questions: 877-752-3811.
Before you start on the MDX
Confirm the model year is between 2007 and 2013. Because no width is listed for WQ27297, compare the photos with your SUV to judge how much stainless will show, or call 877-752-3811 for a measurement. If you are also fitting window trim, do it on a separate day so the arches get your full attention. When the parcel arrives, inspect each gasket edge with the liners on and lay the four pieces out by corner, as shown in the photos, writing the corner on each liner.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
