Product Description
Dodge Journey 2009-2020 Stainless Lower Kit, 4 Pieces, Doors Only (TH49945)
TH49945 is a four-piece Lower Kit of polished stainless steel for the Dodge Journey, 2009 through 2020, listed as a 4-door SUV. The placement note is specific: "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The width tapers from 4.25" to 4.375".
Doors only
Most Lower Kit records simply say the trim spans from the bottom of the door up. This one says "on the doors only." The note limits the placement to the doors themselves. The record doesn't spell out the exact layout, though, so compare the product photos with your Journey before installing.
Twelve model years, one row
The fitment covers 2009 to 2020 in one 4-door SUV entry, with no trim exclusions. If your Journey has aftermarket guards or body pieces near the door bottoms, send a photo to 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Linked Journey parts
The record links seven other Journey listings: MI49945 (four-piece insert kit, 1.75"), pillar sets PP49945 (four pieces) and PP49946 (six), WS49945 (six-piece window sill set), WQ49945 (eight-piece wheel well accent), RD49945 (rear deck accent, 2") and LP49945 (license plate bezel). Each one is sold on its own. Check each listing for its finish before you put an order together.
Made from
High-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The taper
The two figures, 4.25" and 4.375", are an eighth of an inch apart. The record doesn't say which end is taller. Hold a piece against its door with painter's tape to see.
Preview it
A strip of painter's tape just over four inches tall along one door bottom shows how much of the door the steel will cover.
Clean
Wash, dry and wipe the lower doors with isopropyl alcohol. Any wax left on the paint will weaken the bond.
Mount
Painter's tape holds each piece while you swing the door. Then peel the liner a few inches at a time and press the piece down toward the far end.
Placing all four
Measure each Journey piece from the door edges and keep the readings the same.
Afterward
Give it a day before the first wash.
Help
Before ordering
Confirm it's a Dodge Journey from 2009 to 2020. The record names no other model, so if your vehicle is something else, call before buying.
Have ready
Car soap, a bucket, clean towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape, a tape measure and a pen for the liners.
Door-bottom check
Look along the lower edge of each door for chips or loose paint and fix them first, since the tape can only hold to sound paint.
A helper
Ask someone to hold the far end of each piece level while you set the first end and draw out the liner. It keeps the band straight along the door.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
