Product Description
Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ 2009-2014 Molding Inserts, 2.188", 6 Pieces (TH49194)
TH49194 is a six-piece set of polished stainless steel inserts, 2.188" wide, for the 2009-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ. The notes place them on the side molding with one qualifier: "With Chrome strip on the Top."
Reading the note
The record gives that phrase and nothing more. It doesn't say whether the chrome strip is on your molding or part of this kit, or how the insert sits against it. Look at the product photos and at your own molding. If what you see doesn't line up with the note, call 877-752-3811 before ordering and we'll go over it with you.
LTZ, not LT
The linked sibling, TH49195, covers the Tahoe LT for the same years. It's four pieces at 1.8125", where this kit is six pieces at 2.188". The two trims are listed with different molding sizes, so measure: a strip that's close to 2.188" across points here, close to 1.8125" points to the LT kit. If your badge and your tape measure disagree, call.
Six pieces
Six pieces for four doors, and the record doesn't say how they're split. The product photos are the guide. Lay the pieces out, match each to the photos, and mark the liners before peeling anything.
Material
The six 2.188" Tahoe LTZ molding inserts, the version listed with a chrome strip on the top, are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, pressed in with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
Title and category
Like its sibling, this one is titled Rocker Panel Trim while the notes say side molding. The notes describe where the pieces go.
Prep
Soap and water, a full dry, then isopropyl alcohol along each strip. Any protectant left on the molding will weaken the bond.
Install
Test-fit each insert with painter's tape. Check the ends and the centering, then peel a short length of liner, set one end, and press along. Press the full length firmly. Keep each insert in line with the one ahead of it across the door gaps.
Tahoe door-edge spacing
Measure insert ends from the door edges, then use those figures for the rest.
Afterward
Open each Tahoe door to check clearance, then keep it dry for a day.
Conditions
Dry and mild, or indoors, with the parts at room temperature.
What to send if you call
Year, trim badge, a measurement of the molding width, and a close photo of a door's molding.
Molding condition
Press along the strip on each door. If an end lifts or a section has cracked, fix it first, because the inserts sit only as flat as the molding under them. Molding isn't part of the kit.
A helper
A second pair of hands keeps each insert centered while you set the first end.
Preview
A strip of painter's tape on the molding shows the finished line first.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth. No abrasive pads or compound.

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.
