Product Description
Park Avenue 1997-2005 Stainless Full Rocker Kit, 6 Pieces, 7.25"-7.5625" (TH37580)
For the 1997-2005 Buick Park Avenue sedan, QAA links three rocker kits of different heights. TH37580 is the tallest: a six-piece Full Kit that spans "from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," tapering from 7.25" to 7.5625".
Three heights to pick from
- Full Kit TH37580 (this one): molding to door bottom, 7.25"-7.5625".
- Upper Kit TH37582: from the molding down 3".
- Lower Kit TH37586: from the door bottom up 4".
Each is six pieces. The Full Kit covers the entire band in one layer; the other two each cover part of it. The record doesn't describe the upper and lower kits as a pair that makes up the full one, so don't plan on that without asking us.
Odd decimal
7.5625" is seven and nine-sixteenths. A tape measure marked in sixteenths reads it directly; check the gap between your molding and door bottom at several points on each door.
Linked accessories
The sheet also lists a four-piece door handle accent kit (DH37580), pillar post kits in four and six pieces (PP37580, PP37581), and a six-piece wheel well fender trim molding (WZ37580). Check each listing for its finish and fit details.
Material
The 1997-2005 Park Avenue gets six wide strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried between molding and door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Buick sedan.
Working with tall pieces
A seven-inch-plus panel needs patience. Position it with painter's tape against the molding, check that the lower edge follows the door bottom, then lift one end, peel back a few inches of liner and set it. Continue across with steady pressure, chasing air toward the open end.
Cleaning first
Soap and water, a thorough dry and an alcohol wipe over the full height. Any old wax left in the band will show up later as a lifting corner.
Park Avenue spacing
Measure where each finished piece sits from the door edges and keep those numbers for the rest.
Door check
Open each door slowly to its stop and watch the bottom edge. Nothing should rub.
Upkeep
Skip washing for a day. After that, mild soap and soft cloths keep it polished.
Not sure which height?
Mark seven and a quarter inches of painter's tape on one door, then three and four inches on another. Seeing them side by side on your own car usually decides it, and 877-752-3811 is there if it doesn't.
What to have on hand
A tape measure that reads sixteenths, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free towels and a plastic squeegee or trim tool for the wide faces. A second pair of hands makes positioning the tall pieces easier.
Checking the molding
The top edge follows the molding along each door. If a section has drifted or a clip has failed, the gap below it will change and the steel won't sit evenly. Fix the molding first; then measure again before you start.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
