Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2018-2024 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ58161, Model WITH Rocker Panels, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
For the 2018-2024 Chevrolet Equinox 4-door SUV, WQ58161 is the four-piece wheel well accent set QAA lists for models equipped WITH Rocker Panels. Each polished stainless piece is 0.875" wide, and the record describes "3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
For the Equinox with rocker panels
This is the set for an Equinox equipped WITH Rocker Panels. Its sibling WQ58160 is for the model WITHOUT them. Same piece count, same width, so the rocker panels are the deciding point. Before ordering, look at your Equinox's lower sides beside the photos for both sets; if unsure, send a photo or call 877-752-3811.
Material
The four Equinox pieces are made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and bond onto the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the vehicle's surface.
TH58160
The group's rocker kit, TH58160, is eight pieces at 1", an Upper Kit spanning up from the bottom of the cladding. This record doesn't say how WQ58161 meets it; ask 877-752-3811 before combining the two.
Other Equinox parts
Two pillar sets (four and six pieces), a 0.5" window sill set for the face of the sills, a rear window trim pair, an above-plate license bar pair, a rear deck accent listed at 2", a rear bumper accent, a license plate bezel and a gas door cover.
Before ordering
Year 2018-2024, rocker panels present.
Preparing the arches
With rocker panels near the lower ends of the openings, check carefully where the arch band runs close to them. Rinse each opening, wash, rinse and dry, and let it drain. Run a lamp along every band and its lower ends, looking for wax, glue and chips, and clear them. Wax-and-grease remover, then isopropyl alcohol just before bonding.
Fitting
- Write each wheel's position on its liner using the photos.
- Tape the first piece in place, liner on, and check both the gasket line and how the lower ends sit near the rocker panels.
- Bond from the top of the arch downward, a short length at a time.
- Press the full width once more.
- Repeat at each opening.
Arrival and care
When the box arrives, check for four pieces. Once they're on, keep the Equinox dry until the next day, then wash by hand with mild soap; aim no pressure-washer jet at the rubber edging.
Confirming before you order
Because the two Equinox sets look alike on paper, check the box label shows SKU WQ58161 and UPC 691821376766 when it arrives. Hold each piece up near its opening against the photos before peeling anything, paying attention to the lower ends near the rocker panels. If the pieces don't match what you see on your SUV, keep the liners on and call 877-752-3811. Have painter's tape, a plastic scraper, both cleaners and a lamp ready on the day.
After fitting, walk around the Equinox from a few steps away before washing.

Installation tips: Wheel Well 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
