Product Description
RX330 / RX350 / RX400h Side Molding Insert Kit, 2", Four Pieces (TH24126)
If your 2004-2009 Lexus RX still has its side moldings, TH24126 is built around them. It's a four-piece polished stainless steel Insert Kit, 2" wide, and the listing says it "Installs Over Existing Side Molding." That means the molding stays on; the steel goes on top of it.
Your molding is the base
Because the kit sits over the molding, the molding's condition decides how well the trim holds. Check that each molding is firmly attached, not lifting at the ends, and not cracked. Measure the face: a 2" strip should match what the product photos show. If something looks off, call 877-752-3811.
Models and years
Lexus RX330, RX350 and RX400h, 4-door SUV, listed 2004-2009. The record also has narrower rows, the RX350 for 2007-2009 and the RX400h for 2006-2008, without explaining them. If your year falls outside those, confirm by phone.
The rest of the set
TH24125 is an eight-piece Lower Kit, 1.5" to 2" tapered, with a trim crease, on the doors from the bottom up. TH24127 is a two-piece kit, 1.25", installed below the door on the rocker. Ask before stacking kits.
What it's made of
The four 2" RX pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA and mounted with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Lexus.
Degreasing the molding
Moldings soak up trim dressing and wax. Wash with soap, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol again and again until the cloth comes away clean. If a dressing has left a shine, keep wiping; tape won't grip it.
Four pieces
The data doesn't say which piece goes on which molding section. Lay them out against the photos and label them.
Laying them on
Center each piece on its molding with the liner on and sight along the side. Check that door edges won't rub the ends. Peel and press an inch or two at a time.
Keeping it even
Before fitting the rest, check where the first RX pieces start and end.
Tools
For the RX: soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a ruler.
Install day
Pick a warm, dry day, or work in a garage, so the molding and the tape are both at room temperature.
Living with it
Wait about a day before washing. Keep tire shine and trim dressing off the steel, and use only a non-abrasive polish on it.
Why over the molding
Putting steel on the molding rather than the paint means the existing shape guides the line for you: center the strip, and the molding keeps it straight. It also leaves the painted door skins untouched.
Before ordering
Note your exact model and year, and take a close photo of a molding with a ruler across it. If you call 877-752-3811, those let us answer quickly.
Tip: keep the pieces in their labeled order on a clean towel while you work.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Insert 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.
