Product Description
1998-2010 Lincoln Town Car 69.5" Limousine Upper Rocker Kit, 8.25", 10 Pieces (TH38687)
If you'd rather follow the molding than the door bottom on a 69.5" stretch Town Car limousine, TH38687 is the kit the record offers. Its tag reads "Limousine, 69.5" Stretch," model years 1998-2010. Ten pieces of polished stainless steel, an Upper Kit, hanging "from the bottom of the molding DOWN" 8.25".
Two kits for the same limo
The 69.5" car has a second linked option, TH38682: twelve pieces, a Lower Kit 4.5" tall starting at the door bottom. This kit has two fewer pieces and reaches nearly twice as far, but from the opposite edge. Which you choose depends on the look you want and on how much space lies between your molding and the door bottom. The record doesn't describe them as a combined set.
Measure before choosing
Hold a tape at the bottom of the molding and read down to the door bottom on several doors. If that space is close to or under eight and a quarter inches, call 877-752-3811 so we can check how this kit sits on your car.
Other linked kits
TH38684 (twelve-piece Lower Kit for the 119.5" stretch) and TH38679 (twelve-piece Upper Kit tagged for the sedan, no width listed). Neither is tagged for a 69.5" car.
Polished 304 steel
Each of the ten pieces for the 69.5" stretch Town Car is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, mounted below the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Molding condition
On a long car the molding runs a long way, and every inch of it sets the top line for this kit. Walk the length of the car pressing on the molding. Re-secure any loose stretch before you begin.
Ten pieces along the side
The data doesn't map pieces to panels. Lay them out in order beside the car using the product photos and label each liner. If one doesn't fit any panel, stop and call.
Tall-piece technique
Hold each piece up under the molding with painter's tape. Peel only a few inches of liner, set that end, and work across in short passes, pushing air toward the open side. A plastic squeegee and a helper make this easier.
Prep
- Wash and dry the full band from molding to door bottom.
- Give the 69.5" limo's door bottoms an alcohol wipe.
- Repair any flaking or chalky paint inside the band.
Doors
Swing every door fully after its piece is on.
Care
Leave the limo a day before washing; then mild soap.
Even joints
Keep the measured positions consistent along the stretch.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, the 69.5" stretch and your molding-to-door measurement. Those three settle it.
Tools
A long tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free towels and a plastic squeegee. Pick a dry, mild day in the shade; a cold or damp panel weakens the first grab.

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.
