Product Description
Honda Ridgeline 2017-2026 Upper Rocker Kit, Down From the Molding Crease, 2"-2.625", Twelve Pieces (TH17240)
TH17240 is a twelve-piece Upper Kit in polished stainless steel for the Honda Ridgeline pickup, covering a long run of model years from 2017 through 2026. The width is a "2" - 2.625" Tapered Width," and the note sets the reference edge: "Spans from the bottom of the molding crease DOWN to the specified width."
Working down from a crease
QAA's Lower Kits start at the bottom of the door. This Upper Kit starts higher up, at the bottom of the molding crease, and extends down two to two and five-eighths inches. The record doesn't describe the crease itself; compare the photos with your truck's sides to see where the top edge of each piece lands.
Twelve pieces
Twelve is a lot of pieces for four doors. The data doesn't say how the twelve divide across the doors and the bed sides, or whether the kit extends beyond the doors at all. Before ordering, study the photos; to have the layout explained, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Years
Honda Ridgeline, 4-door pickup: 2017 through 2026, ten model years in all.
Specs
- Twelve pieces, Upper Kit
- 2" to 2.625" tapered width
- Twelve Ridgeline pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA
- 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface
On the Ridgeline, QAA states the tape under the molding crease will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the truck.
Organize before you start
With twelve pieces, labeling is everything. Spread them on a clean blanket, group them using the photos, and number each one with painter's tape in the order you'll install. Note which end of each piece is wider.
Prep along the crease
Wash and dry the truck's sides. Then wipe the band below the crease with isopropyl alcohol, cleaning about three inches down so the full width is covered. Wax builds up in creases, so give that line a second pass.
Fitting
Dry-fit a whole side with liners on, seating each piece's top edge at the bottom of the crease. Check that joints are even and the taper flows from piece to piece. Open and close the doors to confirm clearance. Then peel and press each piece in short sections.
Supplies
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape for numbering twelve pieces, and a ruler to check the 2" and 2.625" ends.
Timing
Plan a few hours on a warm, dry day, with a helper if you can. Wait about a day before washing, and keep the truck off muddy roads for that first day.
Care
Rinse the sides after salty or dusty drives, and polish with a non-abrasive product.

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.
