Product Description
Nissan Altima 2013-2015 Sedan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ13550, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
For the 2013-2015 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan, WQ13550 is a set of four polished stainless steel wheel well accents, each 0.875" wide. The listing says "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Fitment in short
The Altima sedan, 2013-2015, is the only vehicle on the fitment line. The record names no coupe and no other years. If your Altima doesn't look like the one in the photos around the wheel openings, check with 877-752-3811 first.
Four pieces with a rubber edge
Four 0.875" stainless pieces, each finished with black rubber gasket edging where it meets the opening. No corner labels appear in the record; use the photos to place them.
How it's made
The four 0.875" Altima strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel of high quality, made in the USA, and applied over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Nissan.
Preparing the arches
The tape bonds to clean, sound paint, so that's the target. Rinse and wash around each opening, let it dry right through, and run a fingertip along the band the trim will cover. Anything you feel, such as old adhesive, wax residue or a flaking edge, gets removed. Just before fitting, give that band a pass with wax-and-grease remover followed by isopropyl alcohol.
Putting them on
- Lay the four out and match them to corners using the photos; pencil the corner on each liner.
- Hold one in place, liner on, and tape both ends with painter's tape.
- Check the gasket lies flush with the opening along the whole curve.
- Release the liner from one end and press the stainless home a few inches at a time.
- Fit the next opening and compare the two before going on.
The Altima group
This group is short and all body pieces: a four-piece body side molding accent at 1", a two-piece bumper cap accent, a license plate bezel, a rear bumper accent at 2.5" and a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25" that installs below the door. No window trim is linked for this Altima. If you fit the rocker strip, fit it before the arches so you can see how the two meet.
Care
One day without washing, then gentle soap and a soft cloth. Don't point pressure-washer spray at the gasket. Call 877-752-3811 if a piece won't follow its arch as the photos show.
On arrival
Open the box and count four stainless pieces before you start on the Altima. Look along each gasket edge for any kink or gap from shipping, and keep every liner in place until that piece has been test-fitted on its own arch. If something is missing or bent, phone 877-752-3811 with SKU WQ13550 and UPC 691821369850 rather than fitting a partial set. Because the record gives no corner labels, lay all four on a towel in the order the photos show before any prep starts.

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.
