Product Description
1998-2004 Lincoln Continental "On the Rocker" Stainless Trim, 4", 6 Pieces (TH38611)
Some rocker kits go on the doors. TH38611 doesn't. Its note says it "Installs below the door," and QAA files it as "On the rocker." For the 1998-2004 Lincoln Continental sedan, that means six pieces of polished stainless steel, 4" wide, on the panel underneath the doors.
The door-mounted alternative
The linked TH38610 is an eight-piece Lower Kit, 5.125"-6" tapered, that rises from the bottom of each door. The two cover different surfaces. Whether they're intended to be installed together isn't stated in the data. If you want both, call 877-752-3811 and we'll check before you order.
Measure the rocker
Since this kit lives below the door, the useful measurement is the height of the rocker face where the trim will sit. Close each door and measure down from its bottom edge. Four inches of steel needs a matching flat area; if yours looks different from the product photos, send a picture with your call.
Six pieces
The record doesn't say how the six are arranged. The photos show it. Sort them and label each liner.
Steel
Continental steel: USA-made, high-quality polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge.
Tape
The six Continental rocker pieces, 4" wide, go over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the sedan.
Low and exposed
The rocker takes spray from the front tires. Look it over closely: stone chips, flaking paint and rust should be repaired first, since the tape is only as secure as the finish under it.
Cleaning
Road film builds up on a rocker more than anywhere else on the car. Wash it thoroughly, rinse, dry completely, and finish with an isopropyl alcohol wipe. A second alcohol pass doesn't hurt.
Placing the pieces
- Hold each with painter's tape and check it against the photos.
- Close the doors and confirm the top edge clears them.
- Peel some liner, fix the end, and work the Continental piece along.
- Press firmly over the whole face.
Door clearance
Open and close every door after the pieces are on. The bottom of each door should pass the trim without touching.
Straight line
Sight along the side from the front wheel before pressing each piece home.
Supplies
Gather a tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and lint-free towels; a kneeling pad helps too.
Afterward
Wait a day before washing the Continental, then use mild soap.
Finishing the kit
Keep each piece's position consistent.
Before you order
Confirm a 1998-2004 Continental four-door sedan and decide whether you want steel on the rocker only, or on the doors as well. Photograph the rocker below the front door, ideally with a tape measure held against it, and send it with your call if anything looks different from the product photos.
Working low
The rocker sits close to the ground, so work at eye level where you can. A creeper or pad keeps you steady while you press each piece.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- 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.
