Product Description
2012-2019 Nissan Versa Lower Door Kit, 1" With Crease, 4 Pieces (TH12531)
TH12531 covers the bottom inch of each door on a 2012 through 2019 Nissan Versa sedan. It's a four-piece Lower Kit in polished stainless steel, and the width bullet reads "1" Width, with trim crease." The placement note is "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Same width, different place
QAA also lists TH12532 for this Versa, and on paper it looks almost identical: four pieces, 1" wide, on the doors. The difference is where each starts. TH12531 starts at the bottom edge of the door and rises one inch. TH12532 is an Upper Kit that starts at the bottom of the molding and extends one inch down. TH12531's bullet mentions a trim crease; TH12532's does not. Check the photos of both before deciding.
And the rocker strip
The third Versa kit, TH12530, is a two-piece 1.25" strip that installs below the door, on the rocker, not on the doors at all.
About the crease
The crease is a bend formed into each piece. The data doesn't say where it runs, so look at the profile in the photos. In the dry fit, a piece that sits flush with no rocking is in the right spot.
What you're getting
Four pieces of high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, each with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. They install directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Fits
Nissan Versa, 4-door sedan, 2012 through 2019.
Clean the door edges
Wash and dry the doors, then wipe the bottom couple of inches with isopropyl alcohol. The very bottom edge of a door hides grit and old wax; give it a second pass.
Fitting
Sort the four pieces by length and shape, and match them to doors. Hold each in place with the liner on, its lower edge against the door's lower edge. Close the door gently to confirm clearance, and look down the side to see that the front and rear pieces form one line. Peel and press in short sections.
Supplies
Soapy water, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape for marking and a ruler to check the 1" line. No special tools.
Conditions
Warm, dry weather or a garage. No washing for about a day, and stay out of deep puddles.
A tip on spacing
Where the front and rear doors meet, the pieces should end at the door edges so the door opens freely. Check that gap with the door open before final pressing.

Care
Rinse the lower doors after salty roads, wash gently and polish with a non-abrasive product when needed. Look over the ends of each piece after the first few washes, and call 877-752-3811 if anything is loose.

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.
