Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 70" Stretch Limousine 1995-1997 Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces, 8.063"-8.563" (TH35682)
TH35682 is tagged "Limousine, 70" Stretch" for the 1995-1997 Lincoln Town Car. It's twelve pieces of polished stainless steel in a Full Kit, tapering from 8.063" to 8.563", 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 molding to the bottom of the door."
Two kits for the same limousine
The 70" stretch has two linked kits, and they don't match:
- TH35682 (this page): twelve pieces, 8.063"-8.563".
- TH35689: fourteen pieces, 8.125"-8.563", with the note "center stretch is two pieces."
This record says nothing about the center stretch. It also has the same piece count and specs as the sedan kit TH35681. The record doesn't explain how the same twelve pieces would cover a 70" stretch, or how this kit differs from TH35689 in practice. Before ordering, please call 877-752-3811 with photos of the limousine's side and its measurements. We'd rather sort it out with you than have the wrong set arrive.
Measuring a stretch
Measure from the molding to the bottom of the body at the front door, the center section, the rear door and both ends. Note the length of the center section too. Those numbers make the call short.
The sedan kits
TH35680 (eight pieces) and TH35681 (twelve pieces) are tagged 4-door sedan.
Construction
The twelve full-length 70" stretch Town Car pieces are wide strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, carried wheel well to bumper on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the limousine.
Prep on a long body
A stretched side is a lot of surface. Wash and dry it in sections, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol. Look for differences in paint where the stretch joins the original body; any edge or repair there needs to be sound and smooth.
Layout
The record gives no positions. Use the photos, sort front to rear, and label every liner.
Installation
Two people. Dry-fit each piece, then peel, place the top edge under the molding, and press outward.
After
Keep the Town Car out of the wash for a day.
What to have ready for the call
- Model year and a note that it's the 70" stretch.
- Molding-to-bottom readings at the doors, the stretch and the ends.
- The length of the center section.
- Straight-on photos of each rocker on the Town Car.
The molding
On a long body, a straight molding matters even more. Press along it from end to end and fix any loose sections before cleaning.
Keeping the end sections even
Measure the end sections' distance from the wheel openings and keep it consistent.
Conditions
A dry, mild day out of direct sun; a long car takes a while, so plan for shade that lasts.
After the first day, wash with mild soap and soft cloths only; abrasive pads will scratch the polished face.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
