Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu Sedan 2004-2007: Upper Rocker Kit, 5.75" Below the Molding, 8 Pieces (TH44105)
TH44105 is the Upper Kit for the 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu four-door sedan. Eight polished stainless steel pieces, 5.75" wide, start at the side molding and run downward: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Upper or Lower?
A linked Lower Kit for the sedan, TH44106, has eight pieces at 3.625", rising from the bottom of the door. The two approach the lower door from opposite edges:
- TH44105 (this one): top edge at the molding, 5.75" tall.
- TH44106: bottom edge at the door bottom, 3.625" tall.
The record doesn't say whether they're meant to be combined. Painter's tape at both positions on one door shows the two looks side by side; if you're thinking of using both, call 877-752-3811 first.
Sedan, not the Maxx
This record is tagged "4-door, Sedan." The Malibu Maxx of the same years has its own kits with slightly different widths, so check which body you have before ordering.
Measure the space
From the bottom of the side molding to the bottom of a door, check that there's more than five and three-quarter inches. The record doesn't give that measurement for this car. If it's close, call before buying.
Pillar trim on the sheet
PP44105 (four pieces) and PP44106 (six pieces) are pillar post kits for the sedan. Check each listing for its finish and coverage.
Material
The Malibu Upper Kit is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, eight pieces in all, fixed on top of the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the paint.
Molding condition
The molding sets the top line. Make sure the molding is straight and tight along its length; reattach lifted ends first. Molding isn't listed among the kit's contents.
Cleaning
Wash, rinse and dry the doors. Wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol, working into the corner below the molding. Touch up chips.
Install
- Sort the eight pieces with the product photos and label the liners.
- Dry-fit with painter's tape, tops against the molding.
- Peel a few inches of liner and press along as the rest comes off.
- Press each Malibu piece hard to finish.
Checks
Open each door to confirm the bottom of the steel clears. Sight along the top edge from the front. Wait a day to wash.
Pieces near the Malibu door seams
Measure each piece end from the door gaps and keep the rest to those numbers.
Conditions
Fit the Malibu set in dry, mild weather or a garage.
Before ordering
Confirm it's the sedan, check the year falls within 2004-2007, and pick between the upper and lower look with tape on the door. If your molding is damaged or the doors don't match the product photos, send a picture to 877-752-3811 before buying.
Care
Wash with mild soap and a soft mitt and dry afterward. Keep scrapers off the steel in winter.
A helper
On the Malibu, a helper who keeps the far end of each piece away from the paint lets you hold the top edge tight under the molding.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
