Product Description
Hyundai Sonata 2011-2014 Lower Door Trim Kit, Gentle 1.25"-1.625" Taper, 4 Pieces (TH11361)
For the 2011 through 2014 Hyundai Sonata sedan, TH11361 is a band of polished stainless steel for the bottom of the doors. It is a four-piece Lower Kit, and QAA's note is specific about placement: "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." That width is not constant. The record lists a 1.25" - 1.625" tapered width, so the top edge of each piece rises by three-eighths of an inch from its narrow end to its wide end.
A subtle taper
Three-eighths of an inch is a small change, and it is easy to install a piece backward without noticing until you step back. The listing does not say which end is wider, so lay the pieces out, compare them to the product photos, and decide the direction before any liner comes off.
Where this kit sits
Lower kits like this one live on the door skins, not on the rocker panel underneath. The Sonata sheet does not link a separate on-the-rocker strip, so this listing is the rocker panel trim QAA connects to this car. If you want something below the doors as well, call and ask.
Quick facts
- Hyundai Sonata, 4-door sedan, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014
- Sonata Lower Kit: four pieces
- 1.25" to 1.625" tapered width
- Sonata steel: polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge, USA-made, high quality
- Bonded to the Sonata doors as they are with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
On the adhesive
QAA states its 3M tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Like any tape, it only reaches that bond on clean, dry paint, so the prep step matters.
Prep the lower doors
Wash the bottom of each door with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Then wipe the strip of paint where the trim will sit, plus a little above it, with isopropyl alcohol. Old wax or a spray sealant on that band will keep the tape from gripping, so be thorough.
Dry-fit, then stick
Hold each piece in place with its liner on. The bottom edge follows the door's lower edge; the angled top edge should look like a smooth line from front door to rear door. Close each door gently with the piece held in place to confirm clearance. When it all lines up, peel the liner a few inches at a time and press firmly.
Weather and timing
Pick a warm, dry day and park in the shade so the panels aren't hot. Hold off on washing for roughly a day.

Living with it

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.
