Product Description
Ford Focus Sedan 2008-2011 Rocker Trim, 1", 2 Pieces (TH48345)
TH48345 is a two-piece on-the-rocker kit for the Ford Focus four-door sedan, 2008-2011. The polished stainless steel strips are 1" wide and the note reads "Installs below the door."
Two strips for the Focus
The included-items line confirms the count: a two-piece kit. The record doesn't say how far each strip runs, so check the product photos. If the layout matters to you before you buy, call 877-752-3811.
Placement on the rocker
An inch is narrow. The data doesn't say where on the rocker face the strip should sit, so the choice is yours. Run painter's tape along the rocker at the height you like, view it from both front corners, and use it later as the installation guide.
A big Focus accessory group
Several molding-related parts are linked, and two are tapered: AT48345, a six-piece body side molding accent trim listed at 0.625"-0.125", and MI48345, a four-piece body molding insert kit at 1.75"-0.563". The data doesn't say how either relates to this rocker strip, beyond being on the same car. Also linked: door handle trim DH48345 and covers DH48346, mirror covers MC48346, pillar post kits PP48345, PP48346 and PP48347, rear deck accent RD48345 at 1.75", window package WP48345 and wheel well trim WQ48345.
Material
Below each door of the 2008-2011 Focus sits a 1" strip of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel formed in the USA, attached to the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says this tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage to the Ford sedan.
Clean rockers
Brush with soapy water, rinse, and dry, getting under the lip. Finish with isopropyl alcohol along the full length you plan to cover. Touch up chips first; on a narrow strip they're right beside the steel.
Laying a long thin strip
With the tape guide in place, peel a few inches of liner at the front end, set it, and walk rearward pressing the steel down as you draw out the liner. A helper holding the far end against the guide keeps the line straight. Press the whole strip firmly when it's down, then pull the guide tape.
Measuring each Focus strip
Measure the first strip's height and its ends from the door openings, and repeat.
Afterward
Open the doors to check clearance. Wait a day before washing. Soap, water and a soft mitt from then on.
Install weather
A dry, mild day, or indoors.
Before ordering
Focus sedan, 2008-2011, clean rockers with no skirts. That's all this record asks for.
What to send if you call
Year and a photo of the side of the car from a few feet back.
Rocker condition
Sight along the bottom of each rocker. Dents or curb scrapes are worth fixing before a polished line goes on beside them.
Preview
Leave the painter's tape guide on for a day and look at the car from across the street before you commit to the height.
A helper
Two people make the long strip easy.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 2 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.
