Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 2016-2017 Lower Door Trim, 1", Four Pieces (TH16281)
TH16281 is a narrow, four-piece Lower Kit for the Honda Accord sedan in just two model years, 2016 and 2017. Each piece of polished stainless steel is 1" wide, and the note reads "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Two years only
The fitment row is the Accord 4-door sedan, 2016 and 2017. That's a tight window. Check the model year on your registration; an Accord from the year before or after needs a different listing.
What about the Sport model?
Two other Accord parts on this sheet carry the note "Does not fit Sport Model": the linked rocker strip TH16282 and the WQ16281 wheel well accents. TH16281's own record has no such exclusion. The data doesn't explain why the door kit would differ, so if you own a Sport, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 to confirm before ordering rather than relying on the absence of a note.
Door kit versus rocker strip
TH16282 is two pieces at 1.25" that install below the door, on the rocker. TH16281 sits on the doors, from the bottom edge up one inch. The two cover different areas and can be fitted separately or together, subject to the Sport exclusion on TH16282.
Material
Accord material: 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA.
Attachment
The four 1" Accord door strips attach over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
An inch is a fine line
Narrow trim highlights any misalignment, so treat the bottom edge of each door as a ruler. Keep the lower edge of every piece snug against it, and check that neighboring pieces meet in a straight line at the door gap.
Prep
Wash, rinse, and dry the doors. Then wipe the lower two inches with isopropyl alcohol, giving the very edge a second pass where grit hides.
Fit and press
Sort the four pieces by length and shape; the listing doesn't label them. Dry-fit each, liner on, and close the door gently to check the ends. Peel a short length of liner, anchor, and press along the piece, then press the full length again.
What to have ready
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape for marking pieces, and a small ruler. There's nothing to remove from the car.
Timing
A warm, dry day works best. Wait about a day before washing, and stay out of deep puddles.

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.
