Upper Molding – Kia (83860-L3000)

Upper Molding is the exterior trim strip on the Kia that carries the character line and shields the paint underneath from impact. Genuine Kia part number 83860-L3000.

UV exposure dulls the original finish and the mounting channel cracks, which is why a trim strip that is still attached can look sun-bleached and pitted. Check whether the original is a chrome, black or primed insert; the mounting channel is shared but the insert finish is not.

Supplied ready to fit; the original clips are usually brittle and should be renewed at the same time.
