Product Description
Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe 1995-1999 Lower Rocker Kit, Six Pieces, 2.5" (TH36120)
TH36120 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 1995-1999 Chevrolet Cavalier 2-door coupe. It's 2.5" wide and "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A slim strip along the bottom
Two and a half inches is a narrow band. The steel's lower edge sits at the bottom of the door and its top edge lands 2.5" higher, with paint above it. On the car, that reads as a bright line low on the side rather than a panel of steel. Preview it with a strip of painter's tape at that height before you order.
Coupe and sedan kits
The linked TH36130 has the same 2.5" width and the same span note, but eight pieces for the 4-door sedan. This kit is for the 2-door. The door count is the only difference between the two records.
Six pieces, two doors
The record doesn't say where all six go or whether some extend beyond the doors. Sort by shape using the photos, and number each liner. A piece with no obvious home is a reason to phone 877-752-3811 before peeling anything.
Built from
Made in the USA, all six Cavalier strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
Held by
The six Cavalier pieces attach over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Chevrolet.
The bottom edge is everything
With a narrow Lower Kit, almost all of the steel sits near the door's lowest edge, the area that takes the most road debris. Get down low with a flashlight. Chips, rust bubbles or peeling clear coat along the bottom need repair and full curing first.
Clean
Wash and dry, then isopropyl alcohol on the bottom few inches of every door, several passes, including the very edge.
Lining up a narrow piece
Thin pieces show any tilt. Hold each one with the liner on, lower edge flush with the door bottom, and sight along it from the front corner. Once it's straight, peel a few inches, press, and carry on along the piece.
Long coupe doors
A second pair of hands keeps the far end of a long piece off the paint until you reach it.
One even line
Measure each piece's distance from the door edges as you go and keep it consistent.
Afterward
Open and close both doors. Skip washing for a day; then mild soap and soft cloths.
Choosing a day
Dry weather, mild temperatures and shade make the tape easiest to seat. If the kit has been sitting in a cold garage or a hot car, let it come to room temperature first.
When to call
If you're unsure the coupe tag fits your car, or the bottom edges need work you'd like advice on, call 877-752-3811 with a photo before ordering.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
