Product Description
Full-Length Lower Rocker Kit, 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis LS & GS, 12 Pieces, 4.75" (TH32481)
TH32481 approaches the Grand Marquis from below. It's a twelve-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit at 4.75" for the 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis sedan, LS and GS, with the notes "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear" and "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The steel starts at the bottom of the doors, rises four and three-quarter inches, and the record describes it as continuing to the bumpers at each end.
Starting from the bottom
A Lower Kit uses the bottom edge of the door as its reference. On the doors, that gives you a ready-made guide. Beyond the doors, toward the bumpers, the record doesn't say what edge the pieces follow, so study the product photos to see how the end pieces sit before installing.
The Upper Kit linked to it
TH32480 is the matching-length Upper Kit: twelve pieces, full length, 3.375", hung from the molding downward. The two kits are referenced from opposite edges. Whether they're meant to be combined, and how they'd meet if they were, isn't in the data. Call 877-752-3811 before ordering both.
Fitment
Mercury Grand Marquis, 4-door sedan, LS and GS, 1992 through 1997.
What it's made of
QAA cuts the twelve full-length Grand Marquis pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they go on over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Mercury.
Preview the height
Measure 4.75" up from the bottom of a door and run painter's tape along that line across the door. Step back. That's the top edge of the steel. Do the same toward the front and rear of the car using the photos as a guide for the end pieces.
Twelve-piece layout
The record doesn't list positions. Sort pieces by position and order, front to back. Label every liner, and photograph the layout so you can check it mid-job.
Clean everything the steel touches
Door bottoms collect grime, and so do the areas near the wheels. Wash, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh cloth shows nothing. Test old paint with painter's tape and repair spots that lift.
Mounting order
Start with the doors, where the bottom edge guides you. Then fit the end pieces, matching their top edges to the door pieces. Dry-fit each with the liner on before committing, and check joints from a few steps away.
Door clearance
Once both pieces on either side of a gap are on, open and close the door slowly.
Finishing the kit
Measure the Grand Marquis joints and heights and keep them consistent.
Supplies and timing
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, a plastic tool and a helper. Plan an afternoon of mild, dry weather and keep the car dry for a day after.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
