Product Description
Buick Regal Coupe 1995-1996 Upper Rocker Kit, 10 Stainless Pieces, 3.5" Below the Molding (TH35570)
TH35570 is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 1995-1996 Buick Regal 2-door coupe. It's 3.5" wide, and the span note reads "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The ten pieces are listed for the 1995-1996 Regal coupe, not the sedan.
A narrow band under the molding
At 3.5", this is a slim strip of steel. Its top edge tucks under the molding and its bottom edge stops three and a half inches lower, so the paint beneath it stays in view. Before buying, run painter's tape along each door 3.5" below the molding and look at the result from a few steps back. That's the look you're ordering.
Coupe, not sedan
The one linked kit, TH35577, is for the 4-door Regal sedan of the same years. It's a different kind of kit altogether: an eight-piece Full Kit at 6.25" that reaches the bottom of the door. The two aren't interchangeable. If your Regal has two doors, this is the record that names it.
Ten pieces on a two-door
That's a lot of pieces for two doors, and the record doesn't explain the layout. The data doesn't say whether there are pieces beyond the doors. The product photos are the guide. Sort the pieces by shape and label every liner before cleaning the car.
Steel and mounting
Buick's 1995-1996 Regal coupe takes ten 3.5" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the car.
Keeping a slim strip straight
Narrow trim shows every wobble. Leave your painter's tape guide line in place while installing, and keep each piece's bottom edge exactly on it. Sight along the side from the front corner after each piece.
Molding condition
The top edge follows the molding, so the molding has to be straight and secure. Press along it on both doors and reattach any loose stretch first.
Cleaning the band
Wash, dry, then wipe the 3.5" band and a little beyond with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth shows nothing. Repair chips inside the band and let the paint cure.
Installing
Dry-fit with the liner on. Peel a short section, seat the top edge under the molding, and press toward the far end as the liner comes away. A firm pass over the whole piece finishes it.
Even Regal spacing
Measure each piece's start and end as you go and keep them consistent. Then stand at the front corners and compare the two stripes; they should sit at the same height.
Supplies and conditions
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a marker, a tape measure and a plastic tool. A dry, mild day in the shade.
Care
Keep the Regal out of the wash for a day, then use mild soap and a soft cloth.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
