Product Description
Hummer H2 Body Molding Insert Kit with "HUMMER" Letters Cut Out, 4 Pieces, 2003-2009 (HV43025)
HV43025 dresses the body side molding of the Hummer H2 in polished stainless while keeping the brand name visible. QAA's note reads "With "HUMMER" logo letters cut out," and the kit is four pieces of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, cataloged as a Body Molding Insert Trim Kit for the H2 4-door SUV from 2003 through 2009.
How the cutout works
Molding insert trim lays into the recessed or flat face of an existing body side molding. On this kit, the stainless is cut around the "HUMMER" lettering, so the letters show through. The catalog doesn't say how many of the four pieces carry the cutout or where on the molding the letters fall, so study the product photos before ordering and compare them with the molding on your truck. If your molding has been replaced, painted over, or its lettering removed, call first; the cutout only lines up with the lettering it was cut for.
Lining up the letters
A cutout gives you a natural alignment guide. When the opening frames the letters evenly on every side, the piece is in position. Dry-fit with the liner on and check the gap around each letter from a step or two away, then adjust before you commit. It's the most important part of the job, and a few minutes spent here avoids a crooked result.
Mounting
The inserts use 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface, so the molding stays on the truck and nothing is drilled. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Prep the molding face carefully: wash it, then remove any trim dressing or wax with rubbing alcohol, since protectant products are a common reason tape fails to grab. Let it dry. Install the cutout pieces first using the lettering as your guide, then fit the remaining pieces so their ends meet cleanly. Press firmly along every edge, especially the cut edges around the letters, since a loose bond shows there first. The Installation tab has temperature and cure notes.
Related side trim for the H2
Several cross-listed parts also go along the side. HV43018 is a four-piece upper rocker kit at 6.5" noted to span from the bottom of the molding down to that width, and HV43013 is a four-piece door insert. HV43017 is an eight-piece top rail accent. Check each listing's photos before combining them with this kit.
Fitment
One row: Hummer H2, 4-door SUV, 2003-2009, seven model years and no trim exclusion. Your H2's year should sit inside that span.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel, taking care not to snag the cut edges around the letters. Avoid abrasive pads and polishing compounds.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 4 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.
