Product Description
Honda Civic Hatchback 2016-2020 Lower Door Kit, Tapered From a Point to 2.125", Four Pieces (TH16214)
Instead of a pair of widths, TH16214's width bullet reads "Tapered Width from a point - 2.125"," which describes pieces that begin at a point and widen to 2.125". It's a four-piece Lower Kit in polished stainless steel for the 2016-2020 Honda Civic hatchback, and the note says it "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Picture the shape
A piece that tapers from a point is closer to a long, slim wedge than a strip: nothing at one end, a little over two inches at the other. The record doesn't say which end is the point or where on each door the widest section falls, and it doesn't fill in the separate width field at all. Use the product photos to see the shape, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if anything is unclear.
Hatchback only
The fitment row is the Honda Civic 4-door hatchback, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Civic name covers other body styles, and this listing doesn't cover them.
Construction
The Civic hatchback's four tapered pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, applied over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage.
Getting a point to look right
The pointed end is the part that draws the eye, and it's also the narrowest bit of tape. Make sure that end sits on clean, flat paint and gets firm pressure. A tip that isn't pressed down well will look lifted even if it isn't.
Prep
Wash the doors and dry them. Then wipe the bottom three inches of each with isopropyl alcohol. Look along each door bottom for chips, especially where the wide end will land, and repair them first.
Dry-fit and press
Sort the four pieces by direction and length using the photos, and label each door. With the liner on, set a piece's lower edge on the door bottom and check how the angled top line flows into the piece on the neighboring door. Close the door slowly to confirm clearance. Peel from the wide end or the point, whichever is easier to align, and press steadily along the length.
Conditions
Choose a warm, dry day, and leave the car unwashed for about a day. Cold paint makes the narrow tip slow to bond, so if it's chilly, warm the car in a garage first and press the point again after a few minutes.
No rocker strip linked
This hatchback sheet doesn't link an on-the-rocker strip. Call to ask about other lower trim.

Care
Rinse the lower doors after salty roads; a soft cloth and a non-abrasive polish keep the edges bright.

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.
