Product Description
Ford Thunderbird 2002-2006 Lower Rocker Kit, 7.375" Up the Doors, 6 Pieces (TH43670)
TH43670 brings polished steel well up the doors of the 2002-2006 Ford Thunderbird. It's a Lower Kit of six polished stainless steel pieces, 7.375" wide, that "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The tag is "2-door, Coupe, Convertible."
A tall band on two doors
Seven and three-eighths inches is a lot of door. Before ordering, mark that height with painter's tape on one door and look at the car from several angles. The record doesn't describe where the six pieces fall or whether any extend beyond the doors, so the product photos are the reference.
The other rocker option
TH43669, four pieces at 4.5", goes below the door instead. The data doesn't say the two are meant to be combined. If you want both areas covered, call 877-752-3811 so we can confirm they meet the way you expect.
Body style
Coupe and Convertible share one tag on this record. Mention yours when you call if you have any doubt.
Linked Thunderbird trim
Also on this sheet: TH43668 body side molding accent (0.75"), door sills DS43670, DS43671 (logo cut out) and DS43672 ("DTR" cut out), ML43670 surround rings, SG43670 grille accent, HL43670 headlight accent, and WS43670 window sills. Their listings carry their own details.
Material
- High-quality 26-gauge 304 stainless, polished.
- Thunderbird trim made in the USA.
- Goes over the Thunderbird's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
That tape, QAA says, will keep the six Thunderbird strips in place for a lifetime with no harm to the coupe or convertible.
Flat paint across the band
A tall kit needs sound paint over its whole height. Check in raking light for dents, chips and bubbles and repair them first.
Prep
Wash, rinse, dry. Alcohol-wipe the full band.
Fitting six pieces
Sort with the photos and label each liner. Dry-fit with painter's tape so the bottom edges follow the door bottoms. Then peel a few inches of liner, set the piece, and press along. Finish with firm pressure.
Afterward
Swing both doors wide, sight along the car, and wait a day to wash.
Before ordering
Check the year, then look at the painter's tape mock-up honestly from a few steps back. Seven and three-eighths inches is a bold look, and it's easy to judge on the car. If you'd rather have steel lower down, the under-door kit is the alternative; if you want both, call us first.
A helper
Tall pieces are easier with two people: one keeps the far end off the paint while the other sets the bottom edge on the door bottom and presses along.
Six pieces, evenly apart
Measure each piece end from the door's front and rear edges and use those figures for the rest.
Conditions and care
Install in dry, mild weather or a garage, with parts at room temperature. Wash later with mild soap and a soft mitt and dry the steel to avoid spots.
Have ready when you call
Your year, body style and a photo of the car's full length.

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.
