Product Description
Chevrolet Tahoe LT 2009-2014 Molding Inserts, 1.8125", 4 Pieces (TH49195)
TH49195 fits the Chevrolet Tahoe LT from 2009 to 2014. The kit is four polished stainless steel inserts, 1.8125" wide, placed on the side molding of the four-door SUV.
The LT kit of a pair
The Tahoe has two linked insert kits for these years, split by trim. This one is the LT. TH49194 is the LTZ kit: six pieces, 2.188" wide, with the note "With Chrome strip on the Top." The width gap is about three-eighths of an inch, so a tape measure tells them apart quickly. Close to 1.8125" across the molding means this kit.
Four inserts
Four pieces for four doors, though the record doesn't assign them. Sort the inserts against your doors and the product photos, then mark each liner.
Molding check
Inserts rely on the molding beneath them. It should be on every door, firmly attached, and not cracked. Press along it; fix any lifting end first. Molding isn't included.
Title and category
The title calls it Rocker Panel Trim. The part name is Insert Kit and the location note is "Side Molding." This is the molding insert.
Material
Each insert is high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Getting the surface ready
Wash, dry, and wipe the strip with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth comes away clean. Skip trim dressing for a while beforehand.
Installing
Hold each insert in place with painter's tape and look at it from a few steps back. When centering and ends look right, peel a short length of liner, set the leading end, and press along the insert as the rest of the liner comes away. Firm pressure over the whole piece. Line the rear insert up with the front one across the gap.
Four-insert spacing
Measure each Tahoe insert from the door edges and keep the readings consistent.
Afterward
Open all doors fully. Wait a day before washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth. No polishing compound on the steel.
Conditions
Install the four Tahoe inserts on a dry, mild day or in a garage.
Before ordering
Tahoe, 2009-2014, LT badge, molding near 1.8125" on all four doors. If the badge says LTZ or the strip measures wider, see TH49194 or call.
A helper
Someone holding the far end of each insert makes centering easier, especially on the longer pieces.
Preview
Painter's tape run along the molding gives an idea of the finished look before you order. Step back to the front corner of the SUV to judge it.
What to send if you call
Year, trim badge, the molding width you measured, and a photo of the Tahoe rocker.
Molding condition
If any strip has been replaced on a door, measure that one too; the inserts are listed for 1.8125" and a different width on one door changes the fit. Mention it when you call.

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.
