Product Description
Lincoln Town Car Sedan 1998-2010 Upper Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces (TH38679)
TH38679 is a twelve-piece Rocker Panel Trim Upper Kit in polished stainless steel for the 1998-2010 Lincoln Town Car four-door sedan. Before ordering, know that its record leaves out two details most rocker listings give: a width and a placement note.
What's missing, and what to do about it
Without a width, we can't tell you how far down from the molding the steel reaches, and without a placement note we can't describe the reference edge beyond what "Upper Kit" implies. The product photos are the best guide. Please compare them with your car, and call 877-752-3811 for the measurement before you buy.
The group it's linked to
Oddly for a sedan kit, this record links to the limousine kits:
- TH38682: twelve-piece Lower Kit, 4.5", "Limousine, 69.5" Stretch."
- TH38684: twelve-piece Lower Kit, 4.5", "Limousine, 119.5" Stretch."
- TH38687: ten-piece Upper Kit, 8.25", "Limousine, 69.5" Stretch."
None of those is tagged for a sedan. If you own a standard Town Car, don't order one of them as a match for this kit.
Twelve pieces on a sedan
That count is high for a four-door, and the record doesn't explain the layout. Lay the pieces out with the photos before starting, and call if they don't map cleanly onto your car's panels.
Polished 304, made in the USA
Every one of the twelve 1998-2010 Town Car pieces is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, applied over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Lincoln.
If you go ahead
Wash and dry the area the photos show, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Check that any molding the pieces butt against is secure. Dry-fit every piece with painter's tape, then peel a few inches of liner, press, and work along. Finish with firm pressure.
Straight lines
Sight down the car from the front bumper before pressing each piece.
Doors
Open all four doors after installing and check the gaps.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free towels.
Care
The Town Car stays unwashed for a day.
Matching
Keep the twelve Town Car positions consistent.
Questions to ask us
How far the pieces reach, where each one sits, and whether it suits your car's molding. Have the year and a side photo ready.
Why we ask you to call
An Upper Kit is defined by how far it reaches below the molding, and that figure is the one this record lacks. A two-minute call gets you the measurement, so you can mark it on your car with painter's tape and see it before ordering. Ask too about the twelve-piece layout.
Weather
When you install, choose a dry, mild day in the shade; tape bonds poorly to a cold or damp panel.
Before ordering
Confirm a 1998-2010 Town Car sedan at factory length. If your car is a limousine, look at the stretch-specific kits instead, and match the stretch figure on the tag.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
