Product Description
Buick LeSabre Sedan 2000-2005 Upper Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces at 3.5" (TH40567)
TH40567 has the highest piece count of the LeSabre Upper Kits: twelve polished stainless steel pieces, 3.5" wide, for the 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre four-door sedan. The placement matches its siblings: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Twelve pieces versus eight
The question most buyers will have is how this differs from TH40565, which is also 3.5" and also hangs from the molding, but comes as eight pieces. The data doesn't say. Compare the product photos side by side, and if it's still unclear, call 877-752-3811 and we'll tell you what's in each box.
All three LeSabre Upper Kits
- TH40565: eight pieces, 3.5".
- TH40566: eight pieces, 6".
- TH40567: twelve pieces, 3.5" (this record).
Linked pillar and wheel well trim
PP40565 and PP40566 are pillar post kits with four and six pieces. WZ40565 is a four-piece wheel well fender trim molding tagged "Short Style." Their pages list their own details.
Material
The 2000-2005 LeSabre's twelve pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, fitted below the molding over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.
Organizing twelve pieces
With this many parts, organization saves time. Lay them out on a clean blanket, match each to the photos, and write a number on every liner. Then dry-fit one full side with painter's tape before peeling anything.
Molding first
The top of each piece meets the bottom of the side molding, so the molding must be straight and tight along its length. The record doesn't say molding is included.
Prep
Wash, rinse, and dry. Wipe the three-and-a-half-inch band with isopropyl alcohol, paying attention to the crease under the molding. Repair chips and let them cure.
Applying
Peel a few inches of liner from one end, butt the top edge against the molding, and press along as you remove the rest. Finish each piece with firm pressure.
After
Open and close each LeSabre door, sight down the rockers, and wait a day to wash.
Working conditions
Dry, mild weather, out of direct sun, or in a garage.
Upkeep
Wash with the car using mild soap and a soft mitt. Towel dry.
Before ordering
Confirm your car is the 2000-2005 LeSabre sedan, decide on 3.5" versus 6", and if 3.5" is the answer, settle eight versus twelve pieces with us by phone. A photo of the full side is the most useful thing you can send.
Twelve LeSabre pieces in line
Use the door gaps as reference points to measure where each piece ends, and repeat those distances as you work along. With twelve pieces, small differences build up, so check as you go rather than at the end.
A helper
A second pair of hands makes longer pieces easier: one person holds the far end off the paint while the other sets the top edge and presses along.

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.
