Product Description
GMC Acadia 2007-2013 Polished Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 1.36 Inch (MI47270)
MI47270 is a four-piece stainless steel molding insert kit for the GMC Acadia 4-door SUV, 2007 through 2013. Its strips are listed at 1.36 inches wide, a precise figure to measure your own moldings against, and the record carries a plain note: "Installs onto existing molding."
What that note tells you
The kit doesn't replace your Acadia's body side moldings. The strips go on top of them. So the moldings already on the SUV have to be there, in one piece, and firmly attached. If one is cracked, lifting at an end, or missing, deal with that before you order. If a molding has been replaced at some point and no longer looks like the ones in the photos, call before ordering.
Using the 1.36 inch figure
Take a ruler to the flat face of one molding. Compare what you measure with 1.36 inches, and then with the photos, which show how a strip sits on the molding. If your measurement is close to or narrower than the strip width, or the profile looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention MI47270.
Fitment
One row: GMC Acadia, 2007 to 2013, tagged 4-door SUV. The title shows the same range. The Acadia's model year will be in your records. Other years aren't covered by this listing.
Specs
Four strips, 1.36 inches wide. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish. Made in the USA. Mounted with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, which means no drilling. The record doesn't say which strip goes on which door; the photos show the layout.
Installation in brief
Choose a dry, mild day and check the Installation tab for the temperature range. Wash the moldings with soap and water, dry them, and wipe them with rubbing alcohol, giving it time to evaporate. Number the four liners by position. Dry-fit each strip with its liner on and center it on the molding so the margin to each edge looks even. Mark the ends with painter's tape, peel the liner, set the strip and press firmly along the whole length. Work around the SUV and step back after each strip to check the line.
No linked parts on this sheet
This record doesn't cross-list any other Acadia parts. If you're interested in other trim for your Acadia, search the store by vehicle or call and ask.
Getting a straight line
Four strips on four doors should read as a clean line. During the dry fit, measure from the top edge of the molding to the top edge of the strip at both ends; equal numbers mean the strip sits level. A helper standing back a few steps can confirm the line before you peel the liner.
Care
Polished stainless needs only mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Keep steel wool and abrasive pads away from it. Questions? 877-752-3811. MI47270's details also appear on the Specs tab. The Quality Automotive Trims team can go through the Acadia with you by phone.

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.
