About the promoter note
"Promoter" refers to an adhesion promoter, a primer-like product applied to a surface before tape to help it bond. QAA's record tells you to use one but doesn't say whether it's included in the box. Assume it isn't unless Quality Automotive Trims tells you otherwise, and call 877-752-3811 if you'd like a recommendation before you start.
On the cladding
The steel goes on top of the plastic cladding along the lower sides of the RAV4. The record doesn't give a width or describe how far onto the cladding each piece reaches; the product photos show the shape and placement.
Seven model years
Toyota RAV4, 4-door SUV: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Steel and tape
The six RAV4 pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA, and they go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Toyota.
Cleaning plastic properly
Trim dressings and protectants are the enemy here. Scrub the cladding with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse, and dry. Then wipe with isopropyl alcohol, switching to clean cloths until no residue comes off. Let it dry before the promoter goes on.
Order of work
- Dry-fit all six pieces, liners on, and number them
- Mark each piece's position with painter's tape on the cladding
- Apply promoter only where the tape will touch, following the promoter maker's directions
- Peel the liner and press each piece firmly in short sections
Six pieces to sort
The data doesn't describe how the six RAV4 pieces are laid out. Match shapes to the photos before you begin.
Weather
Plastic holds cold longer than paint. Work on a warm, dry day or in a heated garage, and wait about a day before washing.
Linked RAV4 parts
Five pillar kits, PP19180 through PP19184 (PP19184 includes the front triangle piece); WS19180 sills, face only; RW19180 rear window trim and RHE19180, the small horizontal piece before the RW; RD19180; LB19180; LP19180; and SG19180 grille accents. Check each listing for its finish.
Supplies
Soapy water, a soft detail brush, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, and the adhesion promoter of your choice.
Questions to settle first
If you're not sure which promoter to use or exactly where each piece lands on your cladding, call before you open the promoter. Then follow the promoter maker's directions on drying time before the tape goes down.
Care
Keep dressing products off the steel. Rinse after muddy or salty drives, and polish the steel with a non-abrasive product.

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.
