Product Description
2016-2025 Chevy Malibu Under-Door Rocker Strips, Pair, 1.25" (TH56106)
TH56106 is a pair of polished stainless steel strips, 1.25" wide, for the 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan. The note says it "Installs below the door."
What a pair covers
Two pieces for the sedan, placed as the photos show. The record doesn't give lengths or say exactly where each strip starts and ends, so the photos show the coverage and a dry fit on your car confirms it.
Ten years, one strip
The fitment runs from 2016 to 2025 with no trim exclusions listed. That makes the year and the sedan body the things to check. If the area under your doors has been changed, by a skirt or a repair, send a photo to 877-752-3811.
Pairing it with the door kit
TH56105 is the linked eight-piece Lower Kit that climbs the doors from the bottom edge, tapering 1.5"-2.0". It and these strips occupy separate zones, so you can run the strips on their own for a slim line, or pair them with the door kit for more coverage.
The steel
The 2016-2025 Malibu gets two 1.25" strips below the doors, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop held on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Measure first
Check the flat area under the doors at a few points and make sure there's room for 1.25" of steel all along it.
Cleaning low on the car
Under-door areas gather road film. Scrub with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol right before fitting.
A straight line
Run painter's tape along the rocker as a guide. A long, narrow strip shows any wander, so the guide matters.
Step by step
- Tape the Malibu strip up dry against the guide.
- Open the front and rear doors on that side to check clearance.
- Peel the liner a few inches at a time from the front and press as you go.
- Press firmly along the whole strip at the end.
Malibu strip positions
Measure each Malibu strip from the wheel openings and check its position with the photos.

Afterward
Skip washing for a day. Rinse road grime off the strips now and then with mild soap.
Why polished 304
The area under the doors takes water, salt and grit from the road. Polished 304 stainless steel is the grade QAA uses here, and its mirror finish rinses clean easily. That makes it a practical choice for a spot that gets dirty quickly, as long as you rinse it now and then.
Conditions
A mild, dry day out of the sun is ideal. Bring the car into a garage for an hour first if the panels are cold, so the tape grabs evenly along the whole strip.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 2 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.
