Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2018-2024 Rocker Kit From the Cladding Up, 8 Pieces, 1" (TH58160)
TH58160 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2018-2024 Chevrolet Equinox 4-door SUV, 1" wide. Its part name is "Upper Kit," but its note is different from most Upper Kits: it "Spans from the bottom of the cladding UP to the specified width."
Up from the cladding
The reference edge here is the cladding, and the steel rises from it by 1". That's a narrow strip along the cladding's edge. The record doesn't describe the cladding itself, so look at your Equinox's lower body and compare it with the product photos. If your SUV's lower panels have been changed, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Upper Kit name, upward note
The part name says Upper Kit, while the note says the steel runs up from the cladding. We go by the note, but if the description and the photos don't match what you see on your SUV, call us rather than guessing.
Steel and tape
Built for the 2018-2024 Equinox, eight 1" strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop rise from the cladding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet SUV.
Two wheel well kits
The linked list includes WQ58160 and WQ58161, both four pieces at 0.875", with no note to tell them apart. Compare their photos or call us.
The rest of the Equinox list
- WS58160: four-piece window sills, 0.5", "Face of sills only"
- PP58160 / PP58161: four- and six-piece pillar sets
- RD58160: liftgate accent, 2"
- RW58160, LB58160, LP58160, RB58160, GC58160
Check each listing for its finish.
A narrow line to keep straight
A 1" strip shows any wander. Tape a guide just above the cladding's edge along each door, and use it for every piece.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't assign the eight pieces to doors. Sort them, place them from the photos, and label each liner.
Clean the edge
Dirt settles where paint meets cladding. Wash with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse, dry fully, and wipe the paint with isopropyl alcohol.
Hang, check, press
Tape each strip up dry along the guide. Open each door. Then peel and press in short sections and finish with firm pressure.
An even Equinox line
Measure the finished Equinox run and copy it on the second.
After
No washing for a day. Then mild soap and a soft cloth.
Before you order
Check the year (2018-2024) and that your Equinox is the 4-door SUV. Then look at the lower body: the kit needs the cladding edge the note describes. A photo of the lower doors sent to 877-752-3811 lets us compare it with the kit, and we can also help you choose between the two wheel well listings if you want those too.
Supplies
Painter's tape, a tape measure, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths and a marker. Work in shade on a mild day.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
