Product Description
Silverado Extended Cab Short Bed 2000-2006 (4-Door Tag): 12-Piece Full Length Upper Rocker Trim, 5.5" (TH40174)
TH40174 fits the 2000-2006 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab with the short bed, tagged "4-door, Pickup Truck, Extended Cab, Short Bed." Twelve pieces of polished stainless steel make a Full Length Upper Kit 5.5" wide that "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Door count first
The tag says four doors. QAA also lists other, unlinked extended cab Upper Kits for this truck that are tagged three doors with eleven pieces at the same width. Since the two descriptions overlap in years, counting your doors is the quickest way to tell which record fits. Four doors match this one. Anything else, or any doubt, call 877-752-3811 with a side photo.
Long bed version
TH40173, linked here, has the same twelve pieces and width, tagged for the long bed.
Five and a half inches below the molding
That's the band this kit covers. Paint below it stays visible. Preview it with a strip of painter's tape at that depth on the front door.
Full Length
The note means a long run, but the record doesn't name the panels. The product photos show where the twelve pieces go.
Steel
Made in the USA, from high-quality polished 304 stainless in 26 gauge.
Tape
The twelve full-length Extended Cab pieces go on below the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Silverado.
Organizing twelve pieces
Spread them on a clean towel beside the truck in the order the photos show. Write a position on each liner. If one has no obvious place, stop before peeling.
Molding condition
Check for loose clips or lifting ends and repair them; the steel follows the molding's line.
Clean
Wash below the molding, rinse, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Fix chalky or flaking paint in the band.
Install
- Painter's-tape each of the twelve pieces into position first.
- Lift a few inches of liner and set that end of the piece.
- Draw the liner off while pressing the piece along.
- Bear down firmly across each face.
Rear doors
Open each rear door after its piece goes on and check clearance.
Line check
Sight along the side from the front bumper after every piece.
Care
Let the Silverado go a full day before a wash.
Working rearward
Keep the measured spacing consistent from piece to piece.
Why we ask about the door count
Two sets of records describe extended cab Silverados of overlapping years with the same width and notes, one at eleven pieces with a three-door tag and this one at twelve with a four-door tag. The door count is the only stated difference, so it's the detail to get right. A side photo sent with your call to 877-752-3811 settles it.
Supplies
Tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and microfiber towels. Install on a dry, mild day in the shade.
Joints
At each door gap, line up the next piece's top edge with the last before pressing.

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.
