Find your truck in the group
All eight kits share the same years and the same placement note. They differ by cab, bed, the molding tag, width and piece count:
- Regular Cab, Short Bed: TH42931 (w/ Molding, 8") or TH42932 (10.5").
- Regular Cab, Long Bed: TH42933 (w/ Molding, 8") or TH42934 (10.5").
- For a Quad Cab short bed: TH42935 (w/ Molding, 8") or TH42936 (10.5").
- For a Quad Cab long bed: TH42937 (w/ Molding, 8") or TH42938 (10.5").
Regular cab kits are ten pieces; Quad Cab kits are twelve.
The molding is the top edge
A Full Kit fills the band between two edges, and on this record the upper one is the side molding. That's why the tag matters: this kit is the one marked "w/ Molding." Before ordering, walk around the truck and make sure the molding is there, straight and secure. If you see gaps, damage or a different style from the product photos, call 877-752-3811 with pictures.
Check the 8" yourself
Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of a door. The record doesn't give that distance, and the same group includes 10.5" kits. If your measurement isn't close to eight inches, stop and call before buying.
Material
The 1500 Regular Cab short bed with molding takes ten 8" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, secured by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the Ram unharmed.
Other Ram trim on the sheet
PP42934 is a two-piece pillar post kit tagged two-door; PP42935 (four pieces) is tagged for both door counts. The door handle cover kits DH42935 and DH42936 are tagged four-door, so they aren't listed for a regular cab. Check each listing for its finish and details.
Preparation
Wash the doors and the area under the molding, rinse, dry, and finish with isopropyl alcohol. Repair chips in the band and let them cure.
Ten pieces into place
The data gives no layout. Sort with the product photos, label the liners, and dry-fit with painter's tape so each piece sits between the molding and the door bottom. Then peel a few inches of liner at a time and press along, finishing with firm pressure.
Wrap-up
Open both doors to confirm clearance and sight along the molding line. Wait a day before washing.
Conditions and care
Install on a dry, mild day or in a garage, with the parts at room temperature. Afterward, wash the steel with the truck using mild soap and a soft mitt, and keep scrapers off it in winter.

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.
