Product Description
1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan Wide Rocker Trim, 3.5", Four Pieces (TH20665)
TH20665 is a four-piece polished stainless steel rocker trim for the Volkswagen Jetta sedan, 1999 through 2004. Each piece is 3.5" wide and "Installs below the door," on the rocker panel. At three and a half inches, this is a broad band of steel low on the car. The record says the four pieces install below the door.
Four pieces below the doors
The record doesn't say how the four rocker pieces divide or where they join. The photos are the guide; call 877-752-3811 if you'd like the layout confirmed.
Fitment
Fits the Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan from 1999 through 2004.
Rocker surface check
A 3.5" strip needs a smooth surface that tall. Look at your rocker: seams, texture, a sharp curve or damage in that band can keep the tape from seating. If you see any of those, call before ordering.
Construction
The four 3.5" Jetta strips go below the doors; QAA forms them in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless and fixes them over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 1999-2004 sedan.
Older rocker prep
On a car this age, check the rocker for stone chips, corrosion or old touch-ups. Repair them and let the paint cure. Then brush the rocker with soapy water, rinse, dry, remove tar, and finish with isopropyl alcohol across the full height.
Guide line and install
Mark a level line with painter's tape at the height of the strips' top edge, measured from the bottom of the rocker at both ends. Dry-fit pieces that meet with liners on and check that the joint between them is tight and the top edges line up. Then peel and press each, front to rear, with firm pressure across the full width.
Matching the joints
Measure the first joint and end positions from the front wheel opening and reuse them as you go.
A note on the linked parts
This sheet links PP22665 and PP22666, four- and six-piece pillar post kits for the sedan. Their numbering differs from this kit's, so confirm their fitment years on their own listings before ordering them for your Jetta. Check each listing for its finish.
Supplies
Soapy water, a brush, tar remover, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure.
The band below the Jetta's doors
A wide, bright band along the lower body, below the doors. It doesn't touch the doors themselves, so the doors open and close exactly as before.
Timing
A warm, dry day; about a day before washing. Avoid deep puddles while the tape sets, and if the car has been out in the cold, let it warm up in a garage first.
Care
Rinse winter salt off the rockers and polish with a non-abrasive product. Avoid scouring pads on the polished steel.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 4 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.
