Product Description
Six-Piece 7.25" Upper Rocker Kit for the 1991-1993 Ford Thunderbird & Mercury Cougar (TH31671)
TH31671 is an Upper Kit: six polished stainless steel pieces at 7.25", with the note "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." Fitment is the Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar coupe, model years 1991, 1992 and 1993 only, and the title names both cars.
Only three model years
This record covers a short span, and no other model years are listed, so confirm your year before ordering. If yours falls outside 1991-1993, call 877-752-3811.
Hanging from the molding
The reference line for this kit is the lower edge of the side molding. Every piece starts there and extends 7.25" down. Measure that distance from your own molding before you order and see where it ends. If it runs past where you expected, ask us.
The other T-Bird kit
QAA catalogs a six-piece Lower Kit at three and a half inches for these coupes, measured up from the door bottom and listed for a longer run of years. It's not linked to this listing. Different reference edge, different width. Call if you can't decide.
Made from
The Thunderbird and Cougar pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, mounted over the existing paint with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage.
Molding condition matters
Because the molding sets the line, it needs to be secure and straight. Press along its length. A loose end or a wavy section will show in the steel below it, so reattach or fix it first.
Six pieces on a coupe
The record doesn't say how the six divide. Match each against the car and the photos; label as you go.
Cleaning
Wash and dry, then wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol repeatedly. On older paint, test with painter's tape and fix any lifting.
Mounting
Set the top edge snug under the molding, liner on, and check the bottom edge from several steps back. Peel from one end, press, and continue. Cycle the door after each piece.
Where it ends
With the top fixed at the molding and the width fixed at 7.25", the bottom edge lands wherever that measurement takes it. Hold a tape measure from the molding down at the front, middle and rear of the door and look at the end point each time. If any of those lands somewhere awkward, like right at the door bottom curve, call before you install so we can check against the photos.
Thunderbird seams
Use your measurements, not your eye, to keep every Thunderbird piece consistent.
Kit for the job
For the coupe you'll need car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure and a plastic tool to lift any old residue.
Linked parts
None. Ask us about other trim for these coupes.
Conditions and care
Mild, dry weather. About a day before washing. Non-abrasive polish only.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
