Product Description
Dodge Journey 2009-2020 Polished Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 1.75 Inch (MI49945)
MI49945 covers twelve model years of the Dodge Journey, 2009 through 2020, with a single 4-door SUV row and a title that matches it. The kit is four polished 304 stainless steel strips, 1.75 inches wide, which mount with 3M tape over the Journey's existing body side moldings.
A wide strip, so measure
At 1.75 inches, these strips need a molding face at least that wide to carry them. Put a ruler across the flat face of one of your moldings and compare the reading with 1.75 inches, then compare the molding's shape with the product photos. If the face is narrower or the profile looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention MI49945 before you order. The record doesn't say which strip goes on which door, so the photos also show placement.
Molding condition
The strips sit on top of the moldings, so those moldings set the result. Before ordering, walk around and look at each molding. Are they all there? Any cracks, chips or lifting ends? Any leftover adhesive from badges or tape stuck on before? Each of those should be fixed or cleaned first, because the tape bonds only to a sound, clean surface.
Specs
- Four strips at 1.75 inches wide
- Stainless steel, 304 grade, 26 gauge, with a polish
- Fabricated in the USA
- Goes on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; no drilling involved
Placement
Lay the four strips side by side on a towel and compare them with the photos. Even when strips share one width, their lengths or ends may differ, so match each to its spot in the pictures and write the position on its liner before doing anything else. That way nothing gets swapped mid-job.
Installing
Choose a dry, mild day; the Installation tab lists the temperature range. Wash the moldings, dry them, and wipe with rubbing alcohol, giving it a minute to evaporate. Number the four liners by position. Dry-fit each strip with the liner on and center it so the margin to each molding edge looks even. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the strip on the marks and press firmly from end to end. Step back after each one to check the line along the side.

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.
