Product Description
Chevrolet Trailblazer 2002-2005 Side Molding Insert Kit with Logo Cut Out, 4 Pieces (TH42165)
TH42165 isn't a lower door or rocker strip. It's an Insert Kit that goes on the side molding of the 2002-2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer four-door SUV. The record describes it as "Insert, Side molding overlay, Includes Logo Cut Out," and the kit has four polished stainless steel pieces.
What "overlay" means here
The steel goes over the existing side molding rather than on the painted door below it. So your Trailblazer needs its side molding in place and in good condition. If the molding is missing, cracked, or has been removed, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
The logo cut out
The note says the kit "Includes Logo Cut Out." The record doesn't say which logo, where on the molding it sits, or which of the four pieces carries the opening. Look closely at the product photos and compare them with your own molding. If what you see on your truck doesn't line up with the photos, ask us before buying.
No width listed
The record doesn't give a width for these pieces. The photos and your molding are the reference; a call clears up any doubt.
Material
- Trailblazer inserts: polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge, high quality.
- Made in America for the Trailblazer.
- Fixed to the side molding as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
According to QAA, the tape behind the four Trailblazer molding overlays will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the 2002-2005 SUV.
Cleaning molding
Molding surfaces hold onto wax, dressing and old protectant, and tape won't bond well through any of it. Wash with soap, rinse, dry, then wipe each molding thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Repeat until the cloth comes away clean.
Matching the pieces
The record gives a count of four and no layout. Use the product photos to work out which piece goes where, and label each liner before peeling.
Dry-fit
Hold each piece on its molding with painter's tape. Check that the logo opening lines up and the edges sit evenly on the molding.
Install
Peel a few inches of liner, set the piece, and press along as the liner comes away. Finish with firm pressure along the length.
Afterward
Open each door to confirm nothing catches. Look along the side for a consistent line. A day before washing.
Before ordering
Walk around the truck and look at each side molding. Is it all there, firmly attached, and similar to what the product photos show? Can you see the area where a logo opening would fall? If the answer to any of those is no or not sure, send pictures to 877-752-3811 and we'll confirm.
How far apart the Trailblazer inserts sit
After the first inserts, check where each piece's ends fall relative to the door gaps, and match that for the rest so the truck looks even from either curb.
Conditions and care
Install in dry, mild weather or indoors, letting cold parts warm first. Afterward, wash with mild soap and a soft mitt, and avoid dressing products on the steel.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel 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.
- 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.
