Product Description
Kia Soul 2010-2013 Stainless Body Molding Insert Kit, 4 Pieces (MI10830)
MI10830 is a four-piece stainless steel body molding insert kit for the Kia Soul, listed for model years 2010 through 2013 on a single row tagged 4-door hatchback. The title shows the same years. A body molding insert kit is strip trim that dresses a vehicle's existing body side moldings, and this one is cut from polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA.
The width needs a check
The width is where this record gets untidy. The note reads "2 .25" - 2.5" tapered Width," with a stray space in the first figure, so the strips do taper but the starting width isn't written cleanly. We won't guess at it here, and the Specs tab leaves width off for that reason. If the exact width matters for your Soul's moldings, compare the photos with your car and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
How it mounts
The kit mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Quote MI10830 when you phone 877-752-3811 about your Kia Soul, and have the model year and the body style ready to share. The photos show the layout.

Laying out the strips
Before peeling anything, lay all four pieces out beside the car and match them to the photos. Tapered strips have a wide end and a narrow end, so note which way each one runs before you start. A small strip of painter's tape on each liner, labeled with its position, saves confusion later.
Installing
Clean the moldings thoroughly. Wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove wax and road film. Dry-fit each strip with the liner on and check its alignment against the molding edges. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Then peel the liner, place the strip on the marks and press firmly along its whole length. Work one strip at a time, and step back after each one to check that the line looks straight from a few feet away.
The Installation tab has the temperature range for the tape and the full steps. A dry, mild day is best; keep the Soul out of rain and the first wash until the bond has settled.
Caring for stainless
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the polished finish.

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.
