Product Description
Honda Accord 2016-2017 Sedan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ16281, 4 Pieces, Not for Sport Model
WQ16281 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2016-2017 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. The listing reads "0.875" Width, Does not fit Sport Model" and describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Sport Model excluded
This exclusion is the key point. The Accord sedan, 2016-2017, is listed, but the Sport Model is not. The record doesn't explain what differs on the Sport. If you aren't sure which trim you have, check the badging and your paperwork, or call 877-752-3811 with your details before you order.
The set
Four 0.875" stainless pieces, each edged with black rubber gasket. No corner labels are given; follow the photos.
Material
The 2016-2017 Accord set, not for the Sport Model, is four 0.875" arch strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Honda sedan.
Arch preparation
Do the cleaning the day before if you can, so everything is bone-dry by fitting time. Soap and rinse each opening, towel it, and leave it. When you return, feel for anything on the trim band that isn't paint: dried compound, a ridge of old tape, a lifted flake. Clear it. Wax-and-grease remover next, then an isopropyl alcohol wipe, done one corner at a time right before that corner's piece.
Fitting
Choose the piece for the first corner from the photos. With its liner on, offer it up and hold the ends with painter's tape. Look for two things: the gasket meeting the opening evenly, and the ends landing where the photos put them. Then work the backing off from one end in short pulls, pressing the stainless down behind it. Keep the pressure even; a firm roll of the thumb along the whole length finishes each piece. Move to the next wheel opening and repeat.
Accord group
Pillar sets PP16281 (4) and PP16282 (6) are linked. TH16281 is a four-piece kit at 1" on the doors only; TH16282 is a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25" that also says "Does not fit Sport Model". Body pieces are a 1" body side molding accent, a gas door cover, a rear bumper accent, a license plate bezel and a 0.75" rear deck accent.
Care
A day before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth, and keep pressure-washer spray off the gasket. For a piece that won't sit right, stop and call 877-752-3811.
Before you order for an Accord
Three checks for WQ16281. The year must be 2016 or 2017. The body must be the 4-door sedan. The trim must not be the Sport Model. If you also want rocker trim, TH16282 carries the same Sport Model exclusion, while TH16281 covers the doors only at 1". When the parcel lands, lay the four 0.875" pieces out, compare each to the photos, and check every gasket edge for creases from transit.

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.
