Product Description
Buick Park Avenue 1997-2005 Lower Rocker Kit, 4" Up From the Door Bottom, 6 Pieces (TH37586)
TH37586 starts where the door ends. On the 1997-2005 Buick Park Avenue sedan, this six-piece Lower Kit "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," and that width is 4". It's polished stainless steel and the middle option of the three linked Park Avenue rocker kits.
Lower, upper or full
All three linked kits are six pieces for the same sedan. What changes is the reference edge and height:
- TH37586, this Lower Kit: anchored at the door bottom, rising 4".
- TH37582, Upper Kit: anchored at the molding, hanging down 3".
- TH37580, Full Kit: molding to door bottom, 7.25"-7.5625".
The record doesn't say the lower and upper kits are meant to be stacked, so ask before ordering both.
Why the bottom edge matters
Since this kit hugs the very bottom of each door, it's the most exposed of the three to spray and stone chips. Inspect that edge on all four doors. Chips should be touched up and allowed to cure, and any bubbling rust repaired, before steel goes over it.
Steel and tape
The six Park Avenue pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they adhere to the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.
Linked accessories
DH37580 (four-piece door handle accent trim), PP37580 and PP37581 (pillar post trim, four and six pieces) and WZ37580 (six-piece wheel well fender trim molding) share this group. Their own listings show finish and coverage.
Setting the line
The door's lower edge is your guide. Hold each piece with its bottom flush to that edge and look along the car from the front bumper. If one door sits a touch lower than its neighbor, split the difference so the top line reads straight.
Installation order
- Clean, dry and alcohol-wipe the bottom four inches of every door.
- Sort the six pieces with the photos and label each liner.
- Dry-fit and mark ends with painter's tape.
- Start a short length of liner, set the end, then peel and press across.
- Go over each piece with firm pressure.
Clearances
With the trim at the very bottom of the door, open each door fully and watch for any contact at the sill as it swings.
Supplies
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free towels, plastic trim tool. Choose a dry, mild day out of the sun.
Keeping positions consistent
Measure each finished piece from the door's front and rear edges and match the rest to it.
Care
A day before the first wash. Mild soap after that, and no abrasive pads on the polish.
Help choosing
Mark a four-inch strip of painter's tape at the bottom of one door and a three-inch strip under the molding on another. Compare, and call 877-752-3811 if you'd like a second opinion.

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.
