Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ50160, 6 Pieces
WQ50160 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox 4-door SUV. The title says "Chevy Equinox"; the fitment line reads Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017. The listing describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". No width is listed.
Fitment
Equinox SUV, 2010-2017. No trim exclusions are listed. Call 877-752-3811 if your arches don't match the photos.
Six pieces
Six pieces, each with black rubber gasket edging. Their split across the four openings isn't in the record, so use the photos and mark each liner before you begin.
Material
The Equinox arch set is six polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces, USA-made, mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the SUV.
Equinox side trim
Three side parts are linked. TH50160 is a four-piece rocker insert kit at 1.5", described as "On the Cladding, adh. Perimeter; Side Molding". AT50160 is a twelve-piece body side molding accent at 1", and MI50160 is a four-piece molding insert kit at 0.5-1.5". Fit any of them before the arches. Pillar sets PP50160 (4) and PP50161 (6), a license plate bezel and a 2.125" rear deck accent are also listed.
Before ordering
Confirm the year is 2010-2017. With no width listed, the photos show how much stainless will be visible.
Arch prep
Begin with a thorough wash of each opening, rinsed and dried, with time for the lip to drain. Then inspect: does the band feel smooth and look clean? If not, find out why (wax, residue, a chip) and fix it. Wax-and-grease remover across the band comes next. The isopropyl alcohol wipe waits until the piece is in hand.
Placing the six
Start at a rear opening. Tape its pieces up on their liners and compare them with the photos, looking hardest at where they meet and at the gasket's contact with the opening. Bond the first from its outer end in, a short length of liner at a time, then its neighbour from the join outward. Press both firmly. Do the matching rear opening, then the fronts.
Arrival and care
Check for six Equinox pieces when the order arrives. Once fitted, give the tape a day before washing; after that, mild soap and a soft cloth, and no pressure washer near the gasket. For questions, call 877-752-3811.
On the day
Lay the six pieces on a clean towel, grouped by opening as the photos show, and write each position on its liner. Have painter's tape, a plastic scraper, both cleaners and clean microfibres ready. If TH50160, AT50160 or MI50160 is going on, fit it first. Keep every liner on until its piece has been dry-fitted, and phone 877-752-3811 with SKU WQ50160 if any piece can't be placed from the photos. Check the model year on your paperwork first, please.

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.
