Linked Maxima parts
QAA links three other listings for the same sedan:
- DH89540: Door Handle Accent Trim, 4 pieces
- PP89540: Pillar Post Trim, 4 pieces
- PP89541: Pillar Post Trim, 6 pieces
The record doesn't say how the two pillar sets differ beyond their piece counts. If you're ordering one with this kit, ask us which suits your car.
Measuring 8.75"
That's a deep band. Measure from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of each door, front and rear. Compare the figures with 8.75" and call 877-752-3811 if they're off or the molding has been changed.
Six pieces
The record doesn't list positions for the six pieces on a 4-door car. Lay them out, compare each with the photos, and label the liners.
What it's made of
The six 8.75" Maxima pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed between molding and door bottom with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 1989-1994 Nissan.
Prep for a wide piece
A lot of paint sits under an 8.75" piece, so prepare the whole band, not just the edges. Wash and rinse, strip wax and polish with a wax-and-grease remover, repair any chips or rust, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Placing each piece
- Hold it up with painter's tape so the top edge meets the molding.
- Check the bottom edge lines up with the door bottom.
- Open and close the door.
- Adjust, then mark the position with tape.
Bonding
Peel a little liner at a time and press across the full height of the piece. Go back over it with firm pressure when it's down.
Next pieces
Measure the Maxima gaps and repeat them on each piece.
Timing
Choose a mild, dry day in shade with the panels warm, and don't wash the car for a day afterward.
Ordering
Tell us the year and your measurement. If you're buying door handle or pillar trim, mention that too so we can check the whole order.
If the doors measure differently
If your car has had a door replaced or a molding refitted, check each door separately. If one door reads noticeably different from the others, don't trim or force a piece to fit. Stop and call us with the readings for each door, so we can tell you what to expect before anything is stuck down.
Keep the packaging
Keep the box and liners until every piece is on and you are happy with the fit.
Fit one door first, then step back and check the line before you continue.
Peel no liner until the whole dry fit on the car looks right.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
