The cladding insert
The linked rocker part is worth a close read. TH50160 is a four-piece insert kit, 1.5 inches wide, described as going on the cladding with adhesive around the perimeter, as side molding. The data files it as an insert kit rather than a lower kit, so it sits within the cladding instead of running up from the door bottom.

Two and an eighth inches
A strip this size makes a statement on the rear. Preview it with painter's tape cut to width and stuck in the photographed spot.
Where it mounts
QAA files this as a rear deck accent. On the Equinox, the location is the liftgate.
Made of
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished, with the shine coming from the metal rather than a coating.
Held with
For the Equinox, 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape keeps the deck trim on the current surface. QAA says the tape lasts a lifetime and does no damage to the Chevrolet.
Ready the gate
Wash and dry. Wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner several times, until a fresh cloth stays clean. Repair any loose paint first.
Aligning
Liner on, hold the strip in place and compare with the photos. Measure from both ends to the gate edges, and mark top and bottom with painter's tape so the wide strip goes on level.
Applying
A dry, mild day is best. Peel and press from the middle out, pressing across the whole width. The Installation tab has more.
After install
Keep the Equinox unwashed for a few days, then clean with mild soap and a soft cloth.
Rear set
Pair this with LP50160 to trim both the gate and the plate area. Fit the deck strip first, then the bezel.
Why stainless
For a matched look, check each linked Equinox part's listing for its finish. Solid 304 shows more of the same steel under a scuff.
What it is
A decorative accent; not a replacement for any factory part.
Choosing among the side pieces
The Equinox list has three kinds of side trim: the AT50160 body side molding accent at 1 inch, the MI50160 insert kit that runs from 0.5 to 1.5 inches, and the TH50160 cladding insert at 1.5 inches. The data doesn't say whether they're designed to be combined, so compare the photos and call before ordering more than one.
Before ordering
Confirm the year and try the painter's tape preview on the gate.

Installation tips: Rear Deck Accent
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
