Product Description
2004-2007 Chevy Malibu Sedan Lower Rocker Trim, 3.625", 8 Pieces (TH44106)
TH44106 is a Lower Kit for the 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu four-door sedan. Eight polished stainless steel pieces, 3.625" wide, sit on the lower doors with their bottom edge at the door bottom: "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A lower, narrower look
Compared with the linked Upper Kit TH44105, which hangs 5.75" from the molding, this kit keeps the steel close to the bottom edge of the door, at three and five-eighths inches. The choice is about where you want the polished line. A strip of painter's tape at each position on one door makes it obvious.
Not for the Maxx
The tag reads "4-door, Sedan." The Malibu Maxx has separate records, so confirm your body before ordering.
Linked pillar posts
PP44105 has four pieces and PP44106 has six. Their listings describe their own finish.
What it's made of
- High-grade polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge.
- Made in the USA for the Malibu.
- Fixed on the Malibu's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
For the Malibu Lower Kit, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage to the doors.
The door bottom matters
Because the kit follows the bottom edge of each door, that edge needs to be sound. Look for chips and bubbles along it and repair them before you start.
Clean
Soap and water, a full rinse, and a thorough dry, including the underside lip of each door. Then isopropyl alcohol across the band.
Layout
The data doesn't describe where each piece goes. Use the photos, separate the sides, and label every liner.
Apply
Dry-fit with painter's tape. Peel a few inches of liner, set the bottom edge on the door bottom, and press along as you peel. A firm final pass seats the tape.
After
Open each door fully and confirm clearance. Look along the car for a consistent top edge. Give it a day before washing.
Even sides
On the Malibu, use the door gaps to keep the joints between pieces evenly spaced.
Weather
Choose a dry, mild day or a garage, and let cold parts warm before peeling.
Before ordering
Check three things: the car is the sedan, it's a 2004-2007 model, and you prefer a lower line close to the door bottom. If you're torn between this and the upper kit, try both positions with painter's tape and look at the car from across the street. Questions? Call 877-752-3811 with a side photo.
A helper
A second person holding the far end of each piece off the paint keeps the tape clean while you align the bottom edge.
Care afterward
Mild soap, a soft mitt, and a towel dry. In winter, rinse salt off the lower doors regularly, and avoid abrasive pads on the polish.
Supplies
You'll want painter's tape, a tape measure, isopropyl alcohol, a marker for labelling liners and microfiber cloths for the Malibu.
What to send if unsure
Year, body style, and a photo of the whole Malibu from the side view.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
