Product Description
2007-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche & Suburban Molding Insert Kit, 2.187", 6 Pieces (TH47198)
TH47198 lists two Chevrolets for 2007-2008: the Avalanche and the Suburban. It's a six-piece Insert Kit of polished stainless steel at 2.187" wide, placed on the side molding.
Pickup tag and SUV tag
The fitment has two rows with the same nameplates. One is tagged "4-door, Pickup Truck," the other "4-door, SUV." The data doesn't assign a tag to a nameplate, so both the Avalanche and the Suburban appear under each. The fit is the same record either way.
Two nameplates
The title and the fitment both name the Avalanche and the Suburban. A 2007 or 2008 Suburban owner can order this kit.
Same spec as the Tahoe insert kit
The catalog has a separate Tahoe insert kit for the same years with the same width and the same six pieces. The two aren't linked and the data doesn't say whether the pieces differ. Order the one that names your vehicle.
Six pieces on four doors
The record doesn't explain the split. Sort the inserts with the product photos and mark each liner. If it isn't clear, call 877-752-3811 before you start.
The molding
These sit on the side molding, so the strips must be present and secure on every door, with a face close to 2.187". If any are missing or differ, send a photo before ordering.
Material
Avalanche and Suburban owners get six 2.187" molding inserts, USA-made from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless and secured with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the 2007-2008 Chevrolet unharmed.
Prep
Wash the strips, rinse, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol to remove dressing.
Fitting
Painter's tape holds each insert while you center it. Peel a short length of liner, set the end, and press along the strip as the liner comes free. Firm pressure end to end.
Across the gaps
Inserts meeting at a door gap should sit at matching heights.
No siblings
No other parts are linked to this record.
After
Open each Avalanche or Suburban door to check clearance; wash a day later.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth keep the Avalanche inserts clean.
Conditions
Install in dry, mild weather or a garage.
Before ordering
Check three things: the badge says Avalanche or Suburban, the year is 2007 or 2008, and the molding is on every door and close to 2.187" across. If all three match, this record fits. If your molding has been replaced, painted or removed on any door, the inserts have nothing to sit on there, so call 877-752-3811 with a photo before buying.
What to send if you call
Nameplate, year, a photo of a full side, and a close shot of the molding with a ruler held across its face. That lets us check the width and the six-piece layout against your vehicle.
Mock-up
A strip of painter's tape along each molding shows the line the inserts will make.
A helper
A second pair of hands keeps each insert centered while you press the first end down.

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.
