Product Description
Buick Park Avenue Sedan 1995-1996 Full-Length Rocker Kit, Ten Pieces, 7"-7.5" Tapered (TH35580)
TH35580 is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1995-1996 Buick Park Avenue 4-door sedan. It tapers from 7" to 7.5", and its notes read "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Park Avenue or Park Avenue Ultra?
That's the first question, because the linked TH35585 is tagged "4-door, Sedan, Ultra." Both kits are ten pieces and full length. The difference in the records is the width: TH35585 lists a single 6", while this kit lists a tapered 7"-7.5". This kit's tag has no trim name. If you have an Ultra, start with TH35585; otherwise this page. If you're unsure which you have, or your measurements don't match either, call 877-752-3811.
Measure to be sure
From the underside of the molding to the bottom of the door, measure at several points along the car. Readings between 7" and 7.5" match this record. A steady 6" points to the Ultra kit's figure. The record doesn't explain why the two differ, so let your numbers decide.
Full length
The coverage note carries the steel past the doors, from each wheel well to the bumper at the front and rear. The record doesn't say which of the ten pieces go where; sort them with the photos.
Material
All ten Park Avenue pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA. They are applied over the sedan's existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the surface.
The taper
Half an inch of change from one end to the other. The record doesn't say which end is taller; a dry fit shows it.
End sections need sound paint too
The panels near the bumpers and wheel openings are part of this kit's coverage. Inspect them for chips and repair before installing.
Prep
Wash, dry, and wipe from bumper to bumper with isopropyl alcohol. Press along the molding and fix loose sections.
Install order
Doors first to set the line, then the front and rear sections to meet them. Dry-fit each piece, peel a little, set the top edge, press outward.
Matching the sides
As you go, measure each end section's distance from the nearest wheel opening and keep it consistent.
Supplies
Mild soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a marker, a tape measure, a plastic trim tool, and a helper for the longer pieces.
What to send when you call
Your year, whether the car is an Ultra, readings from the molding to the bottom of the door, and a photo of the side.
Care
Wait a day before washing the Park Avenue, then clean the full-length strips with mild soap and soft cloths.
A final firm pass along every piece seats the tape.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 10 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.
- 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.
