Product Description
Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 2000-2004, No Flares: Upper Rocker Trim, 6.75", 12 Pieces (TH40995)
TH40995 fits the 2000-2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab pickup without fender flares, per the tag "Pickup Truck, Quad Cab, NO Flares." It's twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, 6.75" wide, filed as an Upper Kit: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
The flares question
A second record, TH40996, is linked: the same 6.75" Upper Kit for the same Quad Cab, tagged "w/ Flares," with ten pieces instead of twelve. So the deciding question is simple: does your truck have fender flares? Look at each wheel opening and compare with the product photos. If you can't tell, send a picture of a front wheel opening to 877-752-3811.
Quad Cab only
The tag names the Quad Cab. Other Dakota cab styles have their own records in the catalog, so confirm the cab before ordering.
Six and three-quarter inches under the molding
The top edge meets the bottom of the side molding and the steel drops six and three-quarter inches. Measure from your molding to the bottom of a door. The record doesn't give that distance, so if your measurement is close to the kit's width, call us before buying.
Construction
The 2000-2004 Dakota Quad Cab without flares takes twelve 6.75" pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, set below the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Dodge.
Molding condition
The molding is the guide for all twelve pieces. If a section is loose, cracked or missing, fix it before you start. The data doesn't say molding comes in the box.
Tape mock-up
Run painter's tape from the bottom of the molding down six and three-quarter inches on a front door. Look at it from across the driveway. It's the quickest way to see the result and check the bottom clearance.
Sorting the pieces
The record doesn't describe a layout. Match the twelve pieces to the product photos and number each liner.
Preparation
- Wash and rinse the Dakota's lower body.
- Dry completely, including door bottoms.
- Wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol, getting into the crease under the molding.
- Touch up any Dakota chips and let the paint cure.
Installing
Dry-fit with painter's tape. Then peel a few inches of liner, butt the top edge against the molding, and press along as the liner comes away. Finish each piece with firm pressure.
After
Open each door to make sure the bottom clears. Sight along the top line from the front. Wait a day before washing.
Matching the sides
Measure each piece end from the door gaps and hold the remaining Dakota pieces to it.
Conditions
Dry and mild, or in a garage. Let cold parts warm before peeling.
Care
Mild soap, a soft mitt, a towel dry. No abrasive pads.
When to call
Flares uncertain, a different cab, or a molding-to-door measurement close to the kit width: any of these is worth a quick call first.

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.
