Product Description
Kia K5 2021-2026 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ71805, 6 Pieces, 1.25" Wide
For the 2021-2026 Kia K5 4-door sedan, WQ71805 is a six-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim set in polished stainless steel. The pieces are 1.25" wide, and QAA lists the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Fitment
Kia K5 sedan, 2021-2026. If your K5's arches don't match the photos, call 877-752-3811 first.
Six pieces
The record doesn't list how the six 1.25" pieces are divided between the openings. Place them from the photos, and label each liner before you start.
Material
The six K5 arch pieces are cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and held over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Kia.
Rocker kit
TH71805 is linked: four pieces, a Lower Kit with a tapered width of 2.25" - 2.75", installing below the door, on the rocker. The wheel well record doesn't say it's cut for it, so if you plan both, ask 877-752-3811 how they meet and which to fit first.
Other K5 parts
- Pillar sets PP71805 (4), PP71806 (6) and PP71807 (8).
- WS71805, a six-piece window sill set, face of sills only.
- A 1" K5 rear deck accent, and an accent for the rear bumper.
- A K5 gas door cover and a plate bezel.
Before ordering
Confirm your K5 is a 2021-2026, and decide on TH71805.
Preparing the K5's arches
Pick a cool, shaded hour. Hose out each opening and wash it with shampoo on a soft mitt; rinse, blot dry and leave it to drain. Using a lamp at a shallow angle, examine the 1.25" band for old adhesive, wax and stone chips. Take residue off with a plastic scraper, dab touch-up into chips, and wipe the band with wax-and-grease remover. Isopropyl alcohol goes on just before each piece.
Fitting
Tape each opening's pieces in place with liners on, and look at the gasket line and any join against the photos. Bond the first piece from its outer end inward, a short length at a time. If the photos show a second piece at that opening, begin it at the join and work outward. Press the whole 1.25" firmly before going on.
Arrival and care
Count six pieces on arrival. After fitting, a day before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth, no pressure-washer spray on the gasket. On the day, lay the pieces out by position with painter's tape, a scraper and a lamp to hand. If one won't follow its arch, call 877-752-3811 with SKU WQ71805 and UPC 840251603588.
Choosing pillar and sill trim
If you're ordering window trim at the same time, the K5 group offers pillar sets in four, six and eight pieces and a six-piece sill set; check your doors before choosing. Fit the arches on their own day so each job gets full attention, and after fitting, walk around the K5 from a few steps back before the first wash.

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.
