Product Description
2009-2017 Traverse Side Molding Inserts, Cut Long for "GM" Logo, 0.75", 4 Pieces (TH49166)
TH49166 is the "GM logo" version of the Chevrolet Traverse molding inserts. Four polished stainless steel pieces, 0.75" wide, for the 2009-2017 Traverse four-door SUV, noted "cut long on molding, to allow fitment for "GM" logo."
Which logo layout do you have?
This kit is for molding that carries a GM logo. The record says the pieces are cut long, and still allow for that logo. It doesn't explain exactly how the cut leaves room for it. If your molding also has a TRAVERSE logo, the linked TH49165 (cut short, "GM & TRAVERSE") is the match. If it has no logos, TH49167 is. When your molding doesn't clearly match any description, a photo to 877-752-3811 will settle it before you order.
Same size as its siblings
All three Traverse insert kits are four pieces at three-quarters of an inch for the same years. Only the logo cut differs, so choosing the wrong one is the main risk. Take a moment to check the logos on the SUV; they should match what the photos show.
Material
QAA cuts the four 0.75" Traverse inserts in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. They mount over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Cleaning around the logo
Wash, rinse, dry. Wipe the strip with isopropyl alcohol, going around the GM logo rather than over it.
Install
- Tape an insert on the strip and line up its end with the logo, leaving the logo clear.
- Check that the slim piece is centered.
- Peel a short section of liner, set one end, press along.
- Firm pressure along each Traverse strip.
Four pieces
The data doesn't assign them to doors. Use the product photos and label each liner.
Linked parts
Gas door cover GC49166, pillar kits PP49165 and PP49166, wheel well trim WQ49165 and fender molding WZ49165.
After
Check door clearance. Give it a day before the first wash.
Before ordering
Look at the molding on every door. You want a GM logo and no TRAVERSE logo. Note where the GM logo sits on each strip; the product photos should show the pieces cut to leave room for it. If the logos on your SUV differ from what the photos show, call 877-752-3811 with pictures before ordering.
Molding condition
Press along each strip and re-secure anything that moves, especially near the logo, so the insert ends sit flat.
Spacing at the logos
Measure the space between each insert end and the logo and keep it the same at each one, so the SUV looks even from the curb.
Weather
Dry, mild weather or a garage for the Traverse.
What to send if you call
Year and a close photo of the molding on a front door and a rear door, with the logo in frame. That is enough for us to confirm the kit and answer questions about where the cut falls.
A helper
Someone holding the far end keeps the slim insert centered on the strip.

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.
