Product Description
Honda Pilot 2009-2015 Stainless Molding Insert Trim, 0.75 Inch Strips (MI29260)
MI29260 is a four-strip molding insert kit for the Honda Pilot 4-door SUV, model years 2009 through 2015. Each strip is 0.75 inches wide and cut from polished 304 stainless steel. It's a short sheet with no notes, so the decision mostly comes down to two things: your Pilot's year, and whether your moldings match the photos.
Year check
The single row covers seven model years, 2009 to 2015, and the title says the same. Look up the Pilot's year; 2009 to 2015 are listed. If your Pilot falls outside that span, this listing doesn't cover it. Not sure about something on the Pilot inserts? Ring us at 877-752-3811. Prepping the Pilot's moldings is explained on the Installation tab.
Molding check
These strips cover existing body side moldings, so the moldings need to be in good shape. Walk around the SUV and look at each one. Are they all present? Firmly attached at the ends? Free of cracks? Then measure the flat face of one with a ruler and compare it with 0.75 inches and with the product photos. A narrow strip on a much wider face, or a profile that looks different from the pictures, is worth a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering. Have MI29260 ready.
Material and attachment
The steel is 26 gauge 304 grade with a polished finish, made in the USA. Attachment is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the strips install directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no removal of the moldings. We can help with Pilot fit on 877-752-3811 as well.
How the install goes
Plan on a dry, mild day; the Installation tab lists the temperature range. Wash the moldings, dry them, and wipe them with rubbing alcohol. Since the record doesn't say which strip goes on which door, lay them out by the photos and write the position on each liner. Dry-fit with the liner on, mark the ends with painter's tape, then peel, place and press firmly from end to end. After all four are on, look along the Pilot to confirm they run straight.
Six linked Pilot parts
The sheet lists six other parts tagged for the same Pilot SUV: GC29260, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; LP29260, a 1-piece license plate bezel; PP29260 and PP29261, pillar post sets of 4 and 6 pieces; WQ29260, a 4-piece wheel well accent trim; and WS29260, a 4-piece window sill trim set. Each has its own page and photos. The sheet doesn't give their widths or finishes, so check each listing individually.
Getting the line right
Narrow strips show any tilt, so take measurements from the top edge of each molding to the top edge of the strip at both ends during the dry fit. If the numbers match, the strip is level with the molding. Repeat that on each door and the four will read as a clean line.
Upkeep
Polished stainless cleans up with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Keep abrasive pads and steel wool off it. Questions? 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.
