No factory flares
The whole group is tagged for trucks without factory flares. If your Sierra has them, none of these records lists your truck; call 877-752-3811 with photos of the wheel openings.
Hanging from the molding
The top edge meets the molding, and the steel extends five and a half inches down. Check that there's at least that much paint between your molding and the door bottom.
Material
The 1999-2006 Sierra 1500 Regular Cab short bed without factory flares takes ten 5.5" pieces that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, set below the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without harming the GMC.
Ten pieces on a two-door
The record doesn't describe the layout. Match each piece to the product photos and label its liner.
The molding comes first
Walk around the truck pressing on the molding. Fix any loose section; the steel will follow wherever it leads.
Clean
Wash and dry below the molding, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Repair flaking or chalky paint in the band.
Fit
Dry-fit with painter's tape. Peel back a few inches of liner, set the end, then press along as you pull the liner free. Firm pressure finishes each piece.
Wheel openings
With no flares, pieces near the wheel openings sit on bare body; make sure their ends lie flat.
Doors
Swing both doors fully when done.
Supplies
For the Sierra: tape measure, painter's tape, marker, soap, alcohol and towels.
Care
The Sierra waits a day to wash; mild soap after.
Matching
Keep each Sierra position to what you measured.
Before ordering
Check five things: a 1999-2006 Sierra 1500, the regular two-door cab, the short bed, molding on the sides, and no factory flares at the wheel openings. All five yes means the record names your truck. If you're unsure about the flares, photos of each wheel opening sent with your call to 877-752-3811 settle it.
Weather
Pick a dry, mild day and keep the truck in the shade; cold or damp panels weaken the tape's first grab. Keep liners on until each piece has been test-fitted.
Joints
Where two pieces meet at a panel gap, check that their top edges line up before pressing the second one down.

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.
