Fitment in one line
Honda Fit, 4-door hatchback, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013. That's the only row, so other years and body styles aren't covered by this listing. If you're unsure about yours, your records show the year, and Quality Automotive Trims can help at 877-752-3811.
Specs worth knowing
- Four strips, 0.75 inches wide

Prep steps for the Honda Fit, including the tape's temperature range, are on the Installation tab. The photos show the layout.
The Fit catalog around it
The sheet links sixteen other parts to this Fit hatchback. The window packages come in two forms: WP29221 with 4 pieces of upper trim only, no pillar posts and no window sills, and WP29222 with 22 pieces covering upper trim, pillar posts and window sills as the full package. GC29220 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim noted with crease contour. LP29220 is a 1-piece license plate bezel at 8.5. Pillar posts come as PP29220 at 4 pieces, PP29221 at 6 pieces, and PP29222 at 8 pieces, which the sheet says includes the front triangle piece in front of the mirror. RB29220, RD29220, TH29220, TH29221, TP29220, WP29220, WQ29220, WQ29221 and WS29220 are cross-listed by number only; see each listing for what it is.
If you're planning more than one, it's sensible to start with the molding strips. They're quick, they don't involve the windows, and they let you get used to working with 3M tape before a larger package.
Lining up thin strips
A narrow strip makes small errors easy to see. After washing, drying and wiping each molding with rubbing alcohol, hold a strip in place with its liner on and check that the gap to the molding edges is the same at both ends. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, set the strip on the marks, and press firmly the full length. Measuring the molding face beforehand and comparing it to 0.75 inches helps too. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range; pick a dry, mild day.
Before you peel anything
Lay the four strips on a clean towel and compare each to the photos. Write the door position on each liner with a marker. Check every molding for cracks, loose ends or old adhesive, and fix those first, because tape bonds only to a sound, clean surface. A helper holding the far end of a strip makes the dry fit easier.
Afterward
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth, never steel wool. For questions on MI29220, call 877-752-3811. Whatever this page leaves unanswered about your Fit, we'll take on 877-752-3811.

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.
