Product Description
2006-2016 Impala & Impala Limited Side Molding Inserts, 1.67", 4 Pieces (TH46136)
For the side molding on a Chevrolet Impala four-door sedan (2006-2013) or a Chevrolet Impala Limited (2014-2016), TH46136 is four polished stainless steel inserts at 1.67" wide. The record's placement note is simply "Side Molding."
Which Impalas
- Chevrolet Impala, 2006-2013, four-door sedan.
- Chevrolet Impala Limited, 2014-2016, four-door sedan.
The fitment repeats both rows with a "Limited" tag on the second. The record doesn't say what that second tag narrows, but both rows list this kit.
Molding width
An insert has to match the strip under it. Measure the face of your molding: it should be close to 1.67", a bit over an inch and a half. If your molding is missing, damaged or different from door to door, call 877-752-3811 with a photo.
Upper Kit companion
TH46135 is the linked six-piece Upper Kit, 3.5", which runs from the bottom of the molding down. It covers the paint under the strip, while these inserts cover the strip itself. Whether they're meant to go on together isn't stated.
Four inserts
Four pieces and four doors; the record doesn't confirm one per door, so check the product photos and mark the liners.
Steel
The four 1.67" Impala and Impala Limited inserts are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop, pressed in with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
Cleaning molding
Molding often has dressing on it. Wash it off, rinse, dry, and wipe each strip with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth comes away clean.
Fitting
- Center an insert on the strip with painter's tape.
- Check both ends.
- Peel a short section of liner and press that end down.
- Work along the strip as the liner comes out, then press firmly.
Across the gap
The front and rear inserts should line up at the door gap. Sight down the side before committing the rear piece.
Linked accessories
FV46135 vent and fog light trim, GC46135 gas door cover, PP46135 and PP46136 pillar posts, RD46135 rear deck accent, and WQ46135 wheel well accent trim.
After
Open the Impala doors to check clearance, then give it a day before washing.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; abrasive pads stay off the Impala trim.
Install day
A garage or a dry, mild day, with the inserts at room temperature.
Mock-up
Painter's tape on one strip shows the finished line before you order.
Before ordering
Check the nameplate and year against the two rows above, then confirm the molding is on every door and close to 1.67" wide. If a strip has been replaced or painted, or one door looks different from the others, send a photo to 877-752-3811 before you buy.
What to send if you call
Year, the badge on the car, and a close shot of the molding with a ruler across it. With that we can check the width against these inserts and confirm the fit.
A helper
A second pair of hands keeps the far end of each insert off the strip while you center the near end.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Insert Kit
- 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.
