Product Description
Toyota Avalon 2013-2018 Side Molding Insert Trim, 1.187" Wide, Four Pieces (TH13165)
TH13165 is a four-piece Insert Kit for the Toyota Avalon sedan, 2013 through 2018. QAA describes it simply: "1.187" Width" and "Side Molding." There's no door-bottom or below-the-door note on this record. The part type, Insert Kit, and the side molding note together place it at the molding on the sides of the car.
An exact width
1.187" is a little under one and three-sixteenths of an inch, an unusually exact figure to see on a listing. The record doesn't describe the molding itself, or exactly how the insert relates to it. Compare the photos with your own doors; if what you see doesn't match, call before ordering.
Fitment
Toyota Avalon sedans, 2013 to 2018, 4-door body only.
The only Avalon rocker panel kit linked
No other rocker panel trim appears on this Avalon sheet, so there's no on-the-rocker or lower door kit to compare with here. For questions about other lower-body trim, ask Quality Automotive Trims.
Material and mounting
The Avalon side molding pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, fixed over the existing molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Cleaning around a molding
Moldings collect wax and dirt along their edges. Wash and dry the sides of the car, then go over the whole area with isopropyl alcohol, using a folded cloth to reach into the edges. Let it dry fully before the tape touches it.
Fitting four inserts
Match each piece to a door by length and shape; the listing doesn't label them. With the liner on, hold the piece in position and look along the side of the sedan from front and rear. The front and rear pieces should read as a single line across the door gap. Open each door to make sure the ends clear.
Pressing
Peel a short length of liner, set one end, and press along the piece. Then go back over the whole insert with firm, even pressure.
Before you order
Since the listing is brief, take a minute with the photos and your car. Look at the molding on your doors and check that the insert's shape matches it. If you're unsure, a call with your model year and a photo of your door is the quickest way to an answer.
When to install
Warm, dry weather or a garage. Wait about a day before washing.

Care

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.
