Product Description
Jeep Liberty 2008-2012 Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 1.5 Inch, With Logo Cut Out (MI48070)
Here's MI48070 in one sentence: four polished stainless molding insert strips, 1.5 inches wide, with a logo cut out, listed for the 2008 through 2012 Jeep Liberty 4-door SUV. The cut out is the detail to study before ordering, because the record mentions it without describing it.
What we know, and what we don't
We know the bullet reads "1.5" Width, With Logo Cut Out." We don't know which of the four strips carries the cut out, what the logo shape is, or where along the strip it sits. The catalog doesn't say, so we won't fill in the gaps. The product photos show the cut out; compare them carefully with the moldings on your Liberty. If anything is unclear, Quality Automotive Trims can answer at 877-752-3811. Mention MI48070.
Fit
Jeep Liberty, 2008 to 2012, 4-door SUV. That's the single row, and the title gives the same years. The Liberty row runs 2008 to 2012. Measure across the flat face of one molding too, and compare it with the 1.5 inch width and the photos. You'll find the Liberty prep routine on the Installation tab.
Construction
For the 2008-2012 Liberty, the four strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds them over the existing molding surface, so the Jeep needs no drilling.
Placing the cut-out strip
Start by identifying the strip with the cut out using the photos, and label every liner with its position. Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe each molding. Dry-fit the cut-out strip first, with its liner on, and make sure the opening lands where the pictures show. Mark its ends with painter's tape, then dry-fit the others the same way and check that the lines look even. Next peel, place and press each strip down firmly along its length, being thorough at the edges around the cut out. The Installation tab gives the full steps and the temperature range.
Liberty parts on the same sheet
Nine more parts share the tag. GC48070 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim, and LP48070 a 1-piece license plate bezel. LB48070 is a 1-piece license bar, an above-plate accent trim, which also carries a logo cut out note. PP48070 and PP48071 are pillar post sets of 4 and 6 pieces. RD48070 is a 1-piece rear deck accent at 1.5 listed for this SUV; check its photos to see exactly what it covers there. SGC48070 is a 1-piece grill overlay tagged "SPORT only," a restriction that belongs to that overlay and not to this kit. TH48070 and WS48070 are cross-listed by number only.
Molding condition
The strips can only sit as well as the moldings under them. Repair cracks or lifting ends and remove old adhesive and wax before you start.
For cleaning, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasives, steel wool in particular. Wipe gently around the cut out edges. Questions? Call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Molding Insert
- 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.
