Product Description
Silverado Double Cab Short Bed (No Molding) Stainless Body Molding Trim Kit, 4 Pieces (MI54185)
The title on MI54185 gives 2014-2019 Chevy Silverado, but the two rows behind it are not the same truck. The first is the Chevrolet Silverado 2014 through 2018, 4-door, Double Cab, short bed, no molding; the second is the Chevrolet Silverado 2019, 4-door, Extended Cab, short bed, no molding, "1500 LD Model only." If you have a 2019 truck, check that tag carefully and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI54185 to confirm before ordering.
Reading the two rows
The first row calls the cab "Double Cab"; the 2019 row calls it "Extended Cab" and restricts it to the 1500 LD only. The catalog doesn't explain the change in wording. Both rows share the short bed and "NO Molding" tags. If your truck is a 2019, it needs to be the 1500 LD model to match the second row.
The kit
Four pieces of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA, each 1.5 inches wide. Listed as a molding insert, with "Body Molding Trim Kit" on its included-items line, it's for trucks without body side molding, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling. To prep the Silverado for MI54185, see the Installation tab. The record doesn't say where each piece sits on the truck; the photos show it.
No molding means you set the line
There's no existing strip to follow, so plan the line yourself. Use the photos for the location, then measure from a fixed edge such as the bottom of the door at both ends of each piece and mark the line with painter's tape. Clean the area with soap and water, dry it, and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit each piece with the liner on along the tape, then peel and press firmly from end to end. Repeat the same measurements on every door so the line runs straight and the inserts match. Check the Installation tab for the temperature range. Each of the four inserts is stainless steel.
Surface check
The tape bonds directly to paint here. Look along the planned line for chips, dents and residue from old accessories, and fix those before you start.
Order of work
Start with a front door, since it sets the height for the rest of the Silverado. Once that piece is pressed, measure its height at both ends and copy those numbers to the next piece. Keep the truck dry and skip its first wash for a while after you finish.
Linked part

Before you buy
Confirm the year, the cab name on your paperwork, the short bed, and that the truck has no body side molding. If any of those don't line up, call first.
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives. Questions? 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.
