Product Description
2007-2012 Altima Sedan Upper Kit, Cut to the Molding, 4", Four Pieces (TH27551)
TH27551 is the tall Altima kit: four pieces of polished stainless steel, 4" wide, filed as an Upper Kit for the 2007-2012 Nissan Altima sedan. Its two notes are "Cut to the Molding" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Shaped to meet the molding
"Cut to the Molding" suggests the pieces are shaped where they meet the molding. The record doesn't show the cut's shape, so look at the product photos and compare them with your car's moldings. If your moldings were removed, replaced, or look different, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
How it fits among the Altima kits
TH27550 is a four-piece 2.25" kit on the doors only, from the bottom up. TH27552 is a 0.875" Insert Kit on the molding itself. TH27551 covers the area from the molding down. The record doesn't describe combining them; ask first.
Years
Nissan Altima, 4-door sedan, 2007 to 2012.
Four inches below the molding
Measure four inches down from the bottom of the molding at several spots along each door. Check that the whole band is flat and sound, with no dents or old trim holes.
Steel and tape
The four 4" Altima pieces are cut to the molding and sit below it; QAA forms them in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and sets them with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the sedan.
Prep for a tall piece
Wash, clay and polish dull paint. Touch up chips. Wipe the whole four-inch band with isopropyl alcohol, including right up under the molding where grime collects.
Hanging the pieces
With the liner on, fit the cut top edge to the molding and check the bottom edge and ends. Open each door. When it's right, peel from the top and press down, working out the air.

What it changes
A four-inch band of polished steel along the Altima, starting just under the molding.
Afterward
Warm, dry weather for fitting; about a day before the Altima is washed; non-abrasive polish only.
Before ordering
Confirm your Altima is the 4-door sedan, then take a close photo of where the molding meets the door paint. Compare it with the product photos; if the cut edge looks like it won't match, call 877-752-3811 with your model year and that photo.
Cold weather
Give a car that's been outside an hour in a garage before starting.
Second press
An hour after you finish, go over each piece again with a soft cloth, working from the top edge down.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
