Product Description
Hummer H2 Stainless Door Insert Side Accent Trim, 4 Pieces, 2003-2009 (HV43013)
HV43013 puts polished stainless along the doors of the Hummer H2. The title, category and part type call it Side Accent Trim, while the included-items line says Door Insert; both point to a four-piece set for the doors of the H2 4-door SUV, model years 2003 through 2009. The catalog doesn't say how the four pieces are distributed across the doors, so confirm the layout with the product photos before you order. H2 prep steps are listed on the Installation tab, covering how to clean the doors and how long to wait before the first wash.
Two names, one part
You'll see this kit called a side accent in its title and a door insert on its included-items line. We've noted the naming difference in our catalog review. The product photos are the clearest description of what you get and where it sits.
What "insert" suggests
An insert generally fits within an existing panel area rather than extending past it. The catalog gives no width or span note for HV43013, so we can't tell you how much of each door it covers. If you want to know exactly how the trim relates to your door shape, compare the photos with your H2, or call us.
Material
Each piece is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, and made in the USA. 304 is a widely used stainless for exterior trim, and the shine is the steel, not a coating.
Install steps
On the H2, the four side inserts mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with no drilling. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the Hummer's surface.
Doors are a good place for tape trim because the surface is large and easy to reach. Wash each door, wipe the mounting area with rubbing alcohol, and let it dry. Mark the pieces by door as you unpack them; front and rear pieces may not be interchangeable, and the photos help sort them. Test each piece with the liner on and check the line from a few steps back, since side trim looks best when the front and rear doors line up with each other. Then peel, place and press firmly along the full length. Open and close the doors gently for the first day. The Installation tab has more.
Related side parts
The H2 sheet lists other side-of-vehicle trim. HV43018 is a four-piece upper rocker kit at 6.5", noted as spanning from the bottom of the molding down to that width, and HV43025 is a four-piece body molding insert kit noted "With "HUMMER" logo letters cut out." HV43017 is an eight-piece top rail accent. Check each listing for photos and fitment.
Fitment

Installation tips: Side Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
