Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu 2016-2025 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ56105, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
WQ56105 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim set for the 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan. Its pieces are 0.875" wide, and QAA describes it as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Fitment
Malibu sedan, 2016-2025. Earlier Malibu years aren't covered by this listing; if your car is older than 2016, call 877-752-3811.
Four pieces
A 0.875" band for each opening by count, gasket-edged on the opening side. The photos show which corner each fits.
Material
The 2016-2025 Malibu takes four 0.875" arch strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, secured with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the sedan.
Malibu rocker kits
Two are linked. TH56105 is an eight-piece Lower Kit with a 1.5" - 2.0" tapered width, spanning from the bottom of the door up. TH56106 is a two-piece On the rocker kit at 1.25", installing below the door. The wheel well record doesn't say it's cut for either, so if you plan one, phone 877-752-3811 and ask how they meet at the arches.
Other Malibu parts
- Pillar sets PP56105 (4) and PP56106 (6).
- A 0.75" rear deck accent and a 2.0" rear bumper accent.
- A mirror accent pair (MA56105) and a mirror cover set (MC56105).
- A brake light trim, a gas door cover and a license plate bezel.
Before ordering
Confirm 2016-2025 on your paperwork and decide on rocker trim first.
Arch preparation
Work in shade with the car cool. Rinse each opening, wash with shampoo and a soft mitt, rinse again and dry, then let the lip drain completely. Using a lamp held flat to the panel, inspect the 0.875" band for wax, adhesive from old badges or stickers, and chips; clear residue with a plastic scraper and touch in the chips. Wipe the band with wax-and-grease remover, then isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Fitting the four
- Mark each Malibu liner with its corner from the photos.
- Start with a front arch. Tape the piece in place with the liner on.
- Check that the gasket follows the opening end to end.
- Lift a short length of liner at the rear end of the arch and press it down.
- Carry on forward in short sections, pressing the full width.
- Fit the other front, then the rears.
Arrival and care
Confirm four pieces when the box arrives. Wait a day after fitting to wash, use mild soap and a soft cloth, and point any pressure washer away from the gasket.
On the day
Lay out painter's tape, a plastic scraper, a lamp, both cleaners and clean microfibres. Line the four Malibu pieces up by corner against the photos, keep each liner on until that piece has been held in place, and if the gasket won't meet the opening as shown, phone 877-752-3811 with SKU WQ56105 and UPC 691821563739 before going further.

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.
