Which car is yours?
- Ford Five Hundred: 2005-2007
- Mercury Montego: 2005-2007
- Ford Taurus: 2008-2009
- Mercury Sable: 2008-2009
The title and the fitment cover all four. If your car is one of these and falls inside its own years, it's on the record. A Taurus or Sable from other years is not listed here, so call 877-752-3811 before ordering for one of those.
Rocker placement
This kit sits on the rocker panel below the doors, not on the doors themselves. Measure the rocker face to make sure a band a little over four and a third inches fits the area you want covered.
Other rocker records for these cars
The catalog has separate Five Hundred and Montego rocker kits (an insert kit for the SEL and Limited, and a Montego upper kit with its own insert kit), but none of them is linked to this record. The data doesn't say whether any of them can be combined with this one. Ask at 877-752-3811.
Linked accessories
GC45490 gas door cover, LB45490 license bar above the plate, PP45490 and PP45491 pillar post trim (both noted "Includes keyless entry touch pad"), RI45490 roof insert trim, and WZ45490 wheel well fender trim molding at 1.75".
Material
The four 4.375" pieces for the Five Hundred, Taurus, Montego and Sable are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed below the doors with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
Prep the rockers
Wash with soapy water and a soft brush to break up road film, rinse, and dry, including the underside lip. Then isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth over the whole band.
Four pieces
No layout is given. Sort the pieces with the product photos and label each liner.
Installing
Position each piece with painter's tape and check it from the front corner. Peel a few inches of liner, set one end, and press along while the liner comes out. Go over everything with firm pressure.
Five Hundred spacing
Note each piece's position relative to the door and wheel openings, and keep it consistent.
After
Open the doors to check clearance and let the tape sit a day before washing.
Care
Mild soap, soft mitt, towel dry.
Conditions
Garage or dry, mild day; parts at room temperature.
When to call
If your nameplate and year don't line up exactly with the list above, or your rockers have guards or other accessories, send photos to 877-752-3811 first.
A tape test
Lay painter's tape along one rocker at roughly the kit's width and look at it from the front and rear corners. If the band looks right on your car, the steel will sit in the same place.

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.
