Product Description
Jeep Liberty 2008-2012 Side Molding Insert Kit, 1.25", 6 Pieces (TH48070)
TH48070 is a six-piece Insert Kit of polished stainless steel for the side molding on a Jeep Liberty four-door SUV, 2008-2012. The inserts are 1.25" wide; the placement note is "Side Molding."
Two molding kits in the Liberty group
This record links MI48070, a four-piece "Body Molding Insert Trim Kit" at 1.5" with the note "With Logo Cut Out." Both kits relate to the side molding, but they differ in width (an inch and a quarter here, an inch and a half there), in piece count, and in the logo cut-out. The data doesn't explain how they relate or whether they're alternatives. If you're choosing between them, measure your molding's face and call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Six inserts on four doors
The record doesn't say how the six divide. Compare them with the product photos, group them by door, and number the liners. Ask if it isn't clear.
Molding check
The inserts sit on the existing molding. It has to be on every door, secure, and in good shape. Molding isn't included.
Material
Cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, the six 1.25" Liberty inserts go onto the existing side molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the 2008-2012 Jeep SUV or its molding.
Strip prep
Wash, rinse and dry. Wipe each strip with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth comes away clean.
Fitting
Center each insert on its strip with painter's tape and look along the side. Then peel a short section of liner, set one end, and press along the strip as the liner comes out. Firm pressure over every piece at the end. Inserts meeting at a door gap should sit at the same height.

After
Open each Liberty door to check clearance; the Jeep waits a day for a wash.
Care
Mild soap, a soft mitt.
Weather
Work on the Liberty on a dry, mild day or in a garage.
Before ordering
Liberty, 2008-2012, molding on all four doors close to an inch and a quarter across. If your strips measure nearer an inch and a half, mention it when you call.
What to send if you call
Have the year ready, along with a photo of one whole side of the Liberty and a close-up of the molding with a ruler laid across it.
Mock-up
Painter's tape along each strip previews the finished line.
Molding condition
Press along every strip with your fingertips. A section that lifts at an end or has a gap will show through the steel, so re-secure it first. If a strip has been replaced with one of a different width, call before ordering.
A helper
A second person helps keep each insert centered on the molding while you press down the first end of the piece.

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.
