Product Description
1993-1997 Chevrolet Caprice Sedan Full-Length Rocker Kit, 14 Pieces at 5.625" (TH33175)
TH33175 is a fourteen-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1993-1997 Chevrolet Caprice 4-door sedan. It's 5.625" wide, and its coverage note is specific: "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear, rear wheel to rear bumper is two pieces." A second note sets the height: "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
The two-piece rear section
The record tells you one thing about the layout: the stretch from the rear wheel to the rear bumper is made of two pieces. It doesn't say how the fourteen pieces divide, so check the photos. When you lay out the kit, identify the pieces that belong behind the rear wheels and set them aside first. The rest of the layout isn't described, so use the product photos for the doors and front sections.
Fitment
Chevrolet Caprice, 4-door sedan, 1993 through 1997. No linked parts are attached to this listing.
Material
The fourteen full-length Caprice pieces, rear section in two parts, are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel produced in the USA and mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Measure the band
From the underside of the molding to the bottom of a door, the record lists five and five-eighths inches. Check yours at a front and rear door.
Cleaning a full side
Because the kit runs bumper to bumper, everything below the molding along the side needs cleaning, not just the doors. Wash, dry and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Clear tar from behind the wheels with a plastic tool.
Install order
Doors first, guided by the molding and door bottom. Then the front section, then the rear section, matching each top edge to the line set by the door pieces. Where the rear pieces meet, make the joint tight and level before pressing.
Door clearance
Open and close each door after the pieces around it are on.
Matching
Measure the Caprice joints from the wheel openings and keep the readings consistent.
A dry run for the whole side
With fourteen pieces, it pays to hold an entire side in place with painter's tape before peeling any liner. Step back to the front corner and the rear corner and look along the run. The top edges should follow the molding with no steps, and the joints should fall where the photos show. Adjust now; it's much harder after the tape bonds.
Molding check
Every piece follows the molding, including the front and rear sections. Press along its full length and fix any loose ends.
Supplies
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a marker, a tape measure, a plastic tool, and a helper for long pieces.
Timing and care
An afternoon of dry, mild weather. About a day before the first wash; non-abrasive polish after that.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 14 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.
