Product Description
Hummer H3 2006-2009 Lower Rocker Panel Trim, 4 Pieces, 5.5" Wide, Doors Only (HV46301)
HV46301 is a four-piece lower rocker kit for the Hummer H3 4-door SUV, model years 2006 through 2009, cut to a width of 5.5". QAA's placement note is precise: the trim goes "on the doors only," and it "spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." So each piece starts at the lower edge of a door and runs 5.5" upward, giving the bottom of the H3's doors a wide band of polished stainless.
Doors only
Because the kit sits on the doors and not on the body below them, it moves with each door as it opens. That also means the panel under the doors is left as it is. The catalog doesn't describe the shape of each piece beyond the width, so the product photos are the reference for the outline. Compare them with your H3's doors before ordering, especially if anything is fitted along the bottom edge, such as aftermarket guards or mud flaps near the doors.
Why four pieces
Four pieces on a four-door SUV lines up with the doors-only note, though the catalog doesn't label which piece is for which door. Sort them with the photos before you begin; the pieces may not be interchangeable, so check each one against its door during the dry-fit and set it aside on a labeled spot.
Material
Each piece is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA. At 5.5" wide, there is a lot of visible metal, and with stainless the shine is part of the steel, not a coating.
Installing
The H3 rocker kit mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with nothing drilled or removed. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the H3's surface.
The bottom of a door collects road spray, so prep thoroughly. Wash, wipe with rubbing alcohol, and let the doors dry with them closed. Then dry-fit each piece with the liner on, aligning its lower edge with the bottom of the door as the note describes. Check from a few steps back that the top edges form a straight line from front to rear. Peel the liner partway, set the bottom edge, and work upward, smoothing from the center out to avoid air pockets. Press firmly across the full face. Open and close each door to make sure nothing catches. The Installation tab covers temperature.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
