Product Description
GMC Sierra 2005-2006 Upper Rocker Kit, 5.5", 12 Pieces (TH45290)
TH45290 is an Upper Kit of twelve polished stainless steel pieces for the GMC Sierra pickup, 2005-2006. The width is 5.5", and the note says it "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The fitment tag lists both "2-door" and "4-door," with no cab or bed length named.
Cab style isn't specified
A twelve-piece kit tagged for both two-door and four-door trucks raises an obvious question: are all twelve pieces used on every cab? The record doesn't say. Before ordering, call 877-752-3811 with your cab style and bed length so we can confirm the kit fits your truck.
Measured from the molding
An Upper Kit starts at the bottom of the side molding and runs 5.5" down. So your Sierra needs the molding in place, and there should be roughly that much body below it. Measure on each door and on the bed side if your truck has molding there. If the molding is missing or replaced, call before ordering.
No linked parts
The record has no siblings: no pillar, sill or wheel well parts are paired with it, and no other Sierra rocker kit is linked for comparison.
Material
The twelve 2005-2006 Sierra pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel produced in the USA, mounted below the molding over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the GMC.
Laying out twelve pieces
No layout is given. Spread the pieces on a padded surface, compare them with the product photos, and label the liners in the order you think they go.
Cleaning
Truck sides collect mud and tar. Wash thoroughly, rinse, dry, and finish with isopropyl alcohol on the band below the molding, working into the corner where the molding meets the body.
Mounting
- Tape each piece in place with painter's tape and check its top edge against the molding.
- Peel a few inches of liner and set one end.
- Press along as you draw the liner out.
- Go over everything with firm pressure.
Checking the line
Stand at the front corner and sight down the side. The top edges should follow the molding in one even line. Then open every door to confirm clearance.
Help
Long truck pieces are easier with a second person keeping the far end off the paint.
After
Wait a day before washing. Care is mild soap and a soft mitt.
Conditions
Fit the 2005-2006 Sierra in dry, mild weather or a garage.
What to send when you call
Year, cab, bed length, and a photo of the whole side showing the molding.
Two-door vs four-door
Because the tag covers both door counts, measure the molding-to-bottom band on every door you have, front and rear. If the band differs from door to door, note that when you call 877-752-3811 so we can confirm the 5.5" width will work everywhere.
Molding condition
Press along the molding; re-secure anything loose before installing.

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.
