Product Description
2005-2007 Saturn Ion Sedan Side Molding Inserts, 1.4", 6 Pieces (TH45411)
TH45411 is an Insert Kit for the Saturn Ion four-door sedan, 2005-2007: six polished stainless steel pieces, 1.4" wide, placed on the side molding. "Side Molding" is the record's only placement note.
On the molding, not the rocker
The part name says rocker panel trim, but an insert kit goes onto the molding strip on the doors. Its linked twin, TH45410, is the rocker version: four pieces at 2.625" that install below the door. Whether the two can be used together isn't stated in the catalog; call 877-752-3811 if you're considering both.
Six inserts on a four-door
The record gives six pieces but doesn't explain which doors get more than one or how they're split. Lay them out, compare with the product photos, and label each liner before you start.
Measure the strip
The molding on your Ion should be present, secure, and close to 1.4" across its face. Check a front door and a rear door. If the molding has been removed or replaced with something different, call before ordering.
The body style
Fitment lists the sedan. The Ion group also includes a pillar kit tagged for a Quad Coupe (PP45412), but this insert record doesn't list that body.
Material
The Ion's six molding inserts are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, applied over the existing side molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Clean molding grips better
Wash the strips, rinse, and dry. Then go over them with isopropyl alcohol to lift any trim dressing.
Setting the inserts
- Tape an insert in place with painter's tape and step back.
- Peel a short bit of liner and set the first end on the strip.
- Press along the molding as the liner comes out.
- Press firmly over the whole piece.
Across the gaps
Where pieces meet at a door gap, they should line up at the same height. Check before pressing down the second one.
Linked Ion accessories
Pillar kits PP45410 and PP45411, SG45410 grille inserts, DH45410 door handle trim, GC45410 gas door cover, HD45410 hood accent, LP45410 plate bezel, and RD45410 rear deck accent are linked. Emblem records SGR45410 and SGR45411 are linked too, but their notes mention other models, so confirm them by phone.
After
Open the doors to check nothing rubs. Wait a day before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth for care.
Weather
An Ion install wants a dry, mild day or a garage.
Questions
Send a photo of the side of your Ion to 877-752-3811 if you're unsure about the molding.
Before ordering
Confirm three things: your Ion is a four-door sedan from the listed years, the molding is still on every door, and it measures close to 1.4" across. If any of those is off, a phone call to 877-752-3811 with a photo will save a return.
Mock it up
A strip of painter's tape along each molding shows how the line of steel will look. Walk around the car and view it from the corners.

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.
