Product Description
GMC Envoy XL Extended 2002-2008: Side Molding Insert Kit, 6 Pieces, 1.75" (TH42294)
TH42294 is the Envoy insert record tagged "4-door, XL, Extended," with years 2002-2008. The width line reads "1.75" Width, Extended," and the placement note is "Side Molding." The kit is six pieces of polished stainless steel that overlay the side molding.
What "Extended" means here
The word appears twice, in the tag and in the width line. The record doesn't define it beyond the XL tag. The record gives it no further meaning. If you're unsure whether your Envoy is the body this record means, call 877-752-3811 with a side photo.
A related record
A separate six-piece record at the same width is tagged plain "4-door, SUV" and ends in 2006. It isn't linked here. The piece count and width match, so the tag and the years are the only differences the data shows.
The molding must be there
Each piece sits on the existing side molding. Check that every section is present, intact, and firmly attached.
What it's made of
- Envoy XL steel: 304 stainless, polished, 26 gauge.
- Envoy inserts made in America.
- Bonded to the Envoy's molding as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
QAA says the tape under the six Envoy XL molding inserts will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the extended SUV.
Width against your molding
Lay a ruler across the molding face and compare with one and three-quarter inches. A photo of the ruler on the molding is helpful if you call.
Prep the molding
Wash, rinse, dry. Then isopropyl alcohol on the molding face, repeating with fresh cloths until the cloth comes back clean. Dressing residue will weaken the bond.
Order the pieces
The data doesn't map the six pieces. Use the photos and label the liners.
Fitting
Tape each piece onto the molding dry. When everything lines up, peel a few inches of liner, center the insert, and press along as you peel. Firm pressure to finish.
After
Open each door and check the ends at the door gaps. Wait a day before washing.
Care
Wash with mild soap; keep dressings off the steel.
Before ordering
Check the body against the tag (four-door, XL, Extended), make sure the year falls within 2002-2008, and look over the molding along its length. If any of those leaves you unsure, a side photo and a quick call to 877-752-3811 will confirm.
Envoy XL gap check
Use the door gaps as reference points, and set each later insert to match the first.
Weather
A dry, mild day or a garage is best. Let cold parts and molding warm up before you peel the first liner, and keep the work out of direct sun.
Supplies
Painter's tape, a ruler, isopropyl alcohol, a marker for the liners, and a stack of clean microfiber cloths so you can change them often while cleaning the molding.
Have ready when you call
Year, the badge or paperwork showing XL, a side photo, and a close-up of the molding.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Insert Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
