About the body tag
The model is listed as Protégé, but the body tag names the 323 Hatchback. The record doesn't explain the pairing. Please tell us exactly what your car is (the model name on it, the year and the number of doors) when you call 877-752-3811, so we can confirm this is the right listing.
How it sits
An Upper Kit starts at the lower edge of the molding and runs 4" down. The bottom line of the trim is set by that 4", not by the door bottom.
Previewing the line
- Measure 4" below the molding on each door.
- Mark it with masking tape.
- Step back and look along the side.
- If the mark goes past the door bottom, send us a photo.
No length note
The record doesn't say whether the six pieces stop at the wheel wells or run further. Check the photos for the layout.
Related listing
A 4-door Protégé kit exists in QAA's catalog under a separate listing, but it isn't linked to this one. Ask us if you have the 4-door.
Steel and tape
The six Protege 323 hatchback pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed under the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Mazda.
Molding
Because the top edge meets the molding, it needs to be straight and secure. Repair any loose sections first.
Prep
Wash the band below the molding, strip wax with a wax-and-grease remover, touch up chips or rust, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Dry fit
Tape each piece up with its top edge snug under the molding, and open the doors to check nothing catches.
Bonding
Peel the liner a few inches at a time and press firmly. Go over the piece again when it's down.
After the front pieces
Keep the Protégé gaps even from piece to piece.
Conditions
A dry, mild day in shade. No washing for a day.
Ordering
Save the Protégé box and liners until every piece is on.
Sorting the pieces
The record doesn't list where each of the six pieces goes. Lay them out on a clean towel, compare them with the photos, and write the position on each liner before peeling anything.
One door at a time
Fit one door completely, then step back and check that the lower edge runs straight before moving on. Adjusting a piece is easy while the liner is still on.
If anything about the fit is off during the dry fit, stop and call us before peeling a liner.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
