Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2006-2011 Tapered Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI26214)
MI26214 is an eight-piece stainless steel molding insert kit for the Honda Civic 4-door sedan, model years 2006 through 2011. What sets it apart is the width: the strips taper from 0.5 inches to 0.8125 inches rather than running at a single width.
Tapered strips, explained
A tapered strip is narrower at one end than the other. On this kit, the record lists the narrow end at 0.5 inches and the wide end at 0.8125 inches. It doesn't say which end goes where or how the eight pieces are placed, so use the photos to see the layout and the direction of each taper. If you'd like help reading them, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Material and mounting
For the 2006-2011 Civic sedan, the strips are polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, made in the USA. Each mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing molding surface, so nothing on the Honda is drilled.
Fitment
One row: Honda Civic, 2006 through 2011, tagged 4-door sedan. The title matches. Only the 4-door sedan is listed, and every linked part on the sheet carries the same sedan tag. Your registration shows the Civic's model year.

Sorting eight tapered pieces
Before you clean anything, lay out all eight strips beside the photos. For each one, note the narrow end and the wide end, and label the liner with its position and direction using painter's tape. This is the step that prevents a strip from going on backwards.
Fitting
Check the existing moldings for cracks or loose sections and repair them. Wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol.
Dry-fit each strip with its liner on, matching its taper to the photos, and mark both ends. Peel the liner, line the strip up with the marks and press firmly along its whole length. Do one at a time, and step back after each to check that the line looks even along the side of the sedan.
Full steps and the tape's temperature range sit on the Installation tab. Choose a dry, mild day, then keep the Civic away from rain and its first wash while the bond settles.
Care
Clean the Civic's strips with mild soap and water and a soft cloth; keep steel wool and abrasive pads away.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
