Product Description
Malibu Maxx LS 2004-2007 Lower Rocker Kit, 3.75" from the Door Bottom, 8 Pieces (TH44108)
TH44108 is the Lower Kit for the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, 2004-2007, tagged "4-door, LS." Eight polished stainless steel pieces, 3.75" wide, start at the bottom edge of each door and rise: "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Picking between the Maxx kits
Its linked partner, TH44107, is the Maxx Upper Kit: 5.875" wide, hanging from the bottom of the side molding. This one stays near the door bottom at three and three-quarter inches. Both have eight pieces. The record doesn't say the two are intended to be combined, so treat them as alternatives unless we've confirmed otherwise by phone.
LS only, per the tag
No other Maxx trim level is named. If your car isn't badged LS, send a side photo to 877-752-3811 before ordering and we'll check.
Don't mix up sedan and Maxx
The sedan's Lower Kit for the same years is an eighth of an inch narrower and is a separate record. Order by body, not by model name alone.
Pillar trim
PP44107 (four pieces) and PP44108 (six pieces) are linked, both tagged LS. Their listings carry their own finish details.
Material
- Malibu Maxx steel: polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge.
- The Malibu Maxx steel is made in the USA.
- Held over the Maxx's current surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Per QAA, the tape fixing the eight Malibu Maxx LS strips will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the 2004-2007 Chevrolet.
Preview
A strip of painter's tape three and three-quarter inches tall along a door bottom shows the finished look. Step back and view the whole side.
Edge condition
This kit follows the bottom edge of each door, so inspect those edges closely. Repair chips and bubbles, and let touch-up cure before installing.
Cleaning
Wash, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth comes away clean.
Eight pieces into place
The data gives no layout. Match pieces to the photos and label the liners. Dry-fit with painter's tape, then peel a few inches of liner, set the bottom edge, and press along. Finish with firm pressure.
Afterward
Open each door to check clearance. Look along the car for an even top line. Wait a day before washing.
Matching the sides
The Maxx's door gaps are your reference marks for even spacing.
Conditions
Install in dry, mild weather or a garage, with the steel at room temperature.
Care
Wash with mild soap and a soft mitt, then dry; never abrasive pads.
Before ordering
Confirm Maxx, LS and a 2004-2007 model year, and settle the upper-versus-lower question with tape on the door. A side photo sent to 877-752-3811 answers anything else.
A helper
With a second person keeping the far end of each piece off the paint, it's easier to set the bottom edge cleanly along the door.
Supplies
Painter's tape, tape measure, isopropyl alcohol, a marker and clean microfiber cloths.

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.
