Product Description
TH56105 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan 2016-2025 Lower Door Kit, 8 Pieces, 1.5"-2.0" Tapered
For the 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan, TH56105 is an eight-piece Lower Kit in polished stainless steel. The kit "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," and the width tapers from 1.5" to 2.0".
A long fitment window
The record covers ten model years of the Malibu sedan with one kit. It doesn't list trim exclusions, so the body (4-door sedan) and the year are what to check. If your Malibu has had lower door work, or carries an aftermarket body kit, call 877-752-3811 with a photo.
Door trim versus rocker strip
The Malibu has two rocker options. This kit sits on the lower doors, climbing from the bottom edge. TH56106 is a two-piece 1.25" strip that "Installs below the door." Because they cover different areas, they work alone or together.
Reading the taper
Half an inch of taper is subtle. Which end of each piece is the taller one isn't written down, so hold a piece up with painter's tape and compare with the photos before deciding how it faces.
Construction
The 2016-2025 Malibu kit tapers from 1.5" to 2.0" across eight strips cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the sedan.

Check each listing for its finish before you combine them.
Laying out eight
The record doesn't say which of the eight pieces goes on which door. Unpack them, sort them by shape, and order them from the photos. Mark each liner with a strip of painter's tape.
Lower door prep
Wash the bottom of each door and the bottom edge where water collects. Rinse, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
Rehearsal
Hang the full side with painter's tape. Check that each bottom edge follows the door and that the tapers run the same way on every door. Open and close each door.
Bonding
Peel a few inches of liner, set, press, and continue. Finish each piece with firm pressure along the length.
Even both ways
Measure the first pieces' start and end points against the door gaps and use them for the rest.
Aftercare
Leave it for a day before washing. Then mild soap and a soft cloth keep it bright.
Before you order
Confirm the year falls between 2016 and 2025 and that the car is the 4-door sedan. Then decide whether you want the door kit alone, the rocker strip alone, or both. Ordering both at once means you can dry fit the whole lower side together and see how the two lines relate before committing to either.
Tools
Painter's tape, a tape measure, isopropyl alcohol and a couple of lint-free cloths.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
