Product Description
Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback 2013-2017 Lower Door Kit, 1.5", Four Pieces (TH13345)
The title of this listing says "Hyundai Elantra GT," and the fitment row agrees: the Elantra GT Hatchback, 4-door, model years 2013 through 2017. TH13345 is a four-piece Lower Kit in polished stainless steel, 1.5" wide, and it goes "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
GT hatchback, not the sedan
The GT label matters, because an Elantra sedan is not on the row. The data lists only the GT Hatchback. If you drive a different Elantra body, this listing doesn't cover it; call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask what's cataloged for your car.
On the doors or below them
QAA pairs this kit with TH13346, a two-piece rocker trim, also 1.5" wide, with a "bend contour," that installs below the door. Same width, different place and shape: TH13345 is four pieces on the door skins with no contour noted, TH13346 is two contoured strips on the rocker. Choose by the look you want, or plan both lines.

Adhesive
Each of the four Elantra GT door pieces is held directly on the existing surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Hyundai.
Readying the paint
Run a wash mitt along the bottom of each door, rinse, and dry. Follow with isopropyl alcohol across the bottom two or three inches so the 1.5" band and a margin above it are free of wax. A clean edge at the very bottom of the door matters most.
Placing each piece
The listing doesn't say which piece fits which door, so compare lengths and contours first. Hold a piece in place with the liner on, its lower edge against the door bottom. Close the door slowly to check the ends, then look along the side to see the front and rear pieces line up. Peel and press in short lengths.
Checking your car first
Walk around the hatchback and look at the bottom inch and a half of each door. Emblems, deep chips or dents in that band will need attention before the trim goes on. If anything on your doors looks different from the product photos, it's worth a quick call before ordering.
Timing it
Install on a dry day when it's warm enough to work comfortably outside, or in a garage. Wait about a day before washing.

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.
