Product Description
Hummer H3 Body Molding Insert Trim Kit, 4 Pieces, 1.75" Wide, 2006-2009 (HV46304)
HV46304 is a four-piece body molding insert kit for the 2006-2009 Hummer H3 4-door SUV, with a listed width of 1.75". Insert trim lays onto the face of an existing body side molding, so the result is a band of polished stainless set into the molding line along the side of the H3. The pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA.
Molding required
Because this is an insert kit, it depends on the factory molding being on the vehicle. Before you order, check that the molding is present, intact and not painted over. If any section has been removed or replaced with something different, call us, since the inserts are cut to a specific shape. The catalog doesn't give a span note or describe each piece's length, so use the product photos to confirm the layout, and compare them with your own H3.
Four pieces, 1.75" wide
The width is the one dimension the catalog gives, and it's the main thing to compare if you're weighing options. The four pieces aren't labeled by door in the listing, so sort them against the photos during the dry-fit.
Prepping a molding
Moldings are often treated with trim dressing or protectant, and those products are a common reason adhesive trim fails to bond. Wash the molding, then wipe it two or three times with rubbing alcohol until a clean cloth comes away with nothing on it. Let it dry completely.
Installation
On the H3, the inserts mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. The molding stays on the SUV and nothing is drilled. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the vehicle's surface.
Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, centering it on the molding face. Check from a few steps back that the line looks continuous from front to rear. Then peel the liner a section at a time, pressing as you go, so the strip follows the molding without wandering. Finish with firm pressure over the full length. Treat the doors gently for the first day. The Installation tab has notes on temperature and cure time.
Other side trim for the H3
HV46301 is a four-piece lower rocker kit at 5.5", noted for the doors only and spanning from the bottom of the door up. HV46309 is a six-piece wheel well accent, and HV46310 is a four-piece window sill trim kit. HV46313 and HV46314 are door handle surrounds in four and five pieces. Check each listing's photos before combining parts.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and polishing compounds, and keep trim dressing off the stainless.

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.
