Product Description
Hummer H3 Wheel Well Accent Trim, 6 Pieces, Polished Stainless, 2006-2009 (HV46309)
HV46309 is a six-piece wheel well accent kit for the Hummer H3 4-door SUV, model years 2006 through 2009. The pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA, and they follow the wheel openings to frame them with a bright line.
Six pieces, four wheels
Six pieces for four wheel openings means the pieces aren't simply one per wheel, and the catalog doesn't say how they're divided. It also doesn't give a width for this kit. The product photos show the full layout, so sort the six against them before you install anything and keep track of which piece goes where.
Check your wheel openings
Wheel well trim is shaped to the opening's edge. If your H3 has aftermarket fender flares, a lift that changed the openings, or body repairs around the wheels, the pieces may not follow the edge as shown in the photos. In that case, call before ordering. If everything is factory, compare the photos with each opening to confirm the shape.
Mounting
On the 2006-2009 H3, all six wheel well accents mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight onto the existing surface, so nothing is drilled. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the Hummer's surface.
Working on a curve
Wheel openings are curved and take more road spray than almost anywhere on the body, so preparation is the most important part of the job.
- Wash the edges of each opening thoroughly, removing mud and tar.
- Wipe the mounting area with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely.
- Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, following the curve.
- Peel the liner a little at a time as you press the piece along the curve, so it doesn't bridge or wrinkle.
- Finish with firm pressure along the full length.
Avoid driving through deep water or using a pressure washer on the edges until the tape has bonded. The Installation tab covers temperature.
Pairing with side trim
The H3 sheet lists several parts for the sides: HV46301, a four-piece lower rocker kit at 5.5" for the doors only; HV46304, a four-piece body molding insert kit at 1.75"; and HV46310, a four-piece window sill trim kit. The catalog doesn't say whether the wheel well pieces meet any of these, so compare the photos if you're combining them.
Care
Rinse the wheel wells regularly to keep grit from building up along the trim edge. Wash with mild soap, dry with a soft towel, and avoid abrasive pads. Polished 304 stainless carries its shine in the metal, so there's no coating to protect.
Fitment
One fitment row: Hummer H3, 4-door SUV, 2006-2009, with no trim exclusions. For the H3, the six accents suit 2006 to 2009 models. Count six pieces when the package arrives, and keep them flat until you're ready to install.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- 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.
- 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.
