Product Description
Jeep Compass 2011-2016 Side Molding Inserts, Stainless, 1.5", 4 Pieces (TH51075)
TH51075 is a set of four polished stainless steel inserts, 1.5" wide, for the 2011-2016 Jeep Compass, a 4-door SUV. The record titles it Rocker Panel Trim, but the part name is Insert Kit and the location note is "Side Molding."
On the molding, not under the doors
Going by the notes, these inserts sit on the side molding. They don't cover the rocker area below the doors. If you were shopping for trim under the doors, look at the product photos first and call 877-752-3811 so we can help you find the right listing.
Four inserts
The record gives four pieces and doesn't say which goes on which door. Match each insert's shape against the photos and pencil its position on the liner before peeling.
Molding first
The inserts need molding to sit on. Check that your Compass has it on every door, that it's firmly attached, and that it measures about an inch and a half across. Press along each strip and re-secure any lifting end. No molding comes with the kit.
Linked Compass parts
PP51075, PP51076 and PP51077 are pillar post sets of four, six and eight pieces. WS51075 is a four-piece window sill set, RD51075 is a 1.5" rear deck accent, and LP51075 is a license plate bezel. Each is a separate listing, so check each for its finish.
Steel and tape
The Compass's four molding inserts are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, fixed over the existing side molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Jeep.
Cleaning the molding
Molding often carries protectant. Wash it with soapy water, dry it, then wipe several times with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth stays clean.
Centering
Painter's tape holds an insert while you check that it is centered top to bottom and that each end sits where the photos show.
Press
Peel a little liner, set one end, then press along the insert as the liner comes away.
Sides
Keep the Compass end positions consistent.
Contact
Before ordering
Walk around your Compass and confirm there is side molding on all four doors. If any door is missing it, or the molding has been replaced with something different from the product photos, send a picture to 877-752-3811 first.
Things to have
Car soap and a bucket, towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape and a tape measure.
Weather
Choose a mild, dry day out of the sun. Cold molding and damp surfaces weaken the first bond.
Afterward
Wait a day before washing the Compass, then use mild soap and a soft cloth.
Edges
Once an insert is down, run your thumb firmly along both long edges and each end. That pressure is what sets the foam tape.
Matching the look
Before peeling anything, tape all four inserts in place and look along the Compass from the front and rear corners. Adjust any that sit high or low compared with the others.

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.
