Product Description
Volkswagen Touareg 2004-2010 Upper Kit With Reverse Trim Crease, 1.75", Six Pieces (TH24640)
TH24640 carries an unusual note: "With reverse trim crease." It's a six-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg, 1.75" wide, and it "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
What a reverse crease means here
The catalog names it without describing it. Don't assume its shape; look at the product photos closely and compare them with the area just below your Touareg's side moldings. If the shape of your lower doors looks different from the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Starting at the molding
Upper Kits take their line from the bottom of the side molding and run down from there, so the moldings need to be in place and straight.
Fitment
Volkswagen Touareg, 4-door SUV, 2004 through 2010.
Linked parts
Two pillar post kits are linked: PP24640 (four pieces) and PP24641 (six pieces). Check each listing for its finish.
The steel and the tape
The Touareg's six reverse-crease pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, attached over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
Six pieces
The record doesn't describe the split. Match each piece against the photos, paying attention to the crease, which tells you which edge is up. Label the liners.
Space and prep
Measure an inch and three quarters down from the molding and check that band for dents and chips. Wash, clay and degrease it with isopropyl alcohol, including the narrow gap right under the molding edge.
Fitting with a crease
A creased piece has to sit where the photos show it, or the steel won't lie flat. Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, pressing lightly to see how it follows the surface. Open the doors to check clearance. Then peel from the top and press down.
Touareg sight line
Measure each Touareg joint from the wheel openings and keep the readings consistent.
Supplies
Touareg supplies: soap, clay bar, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure.
What it changes
A slim polished band right under the molding, following its line along the doors and leaving the rest of the lower body as it is.
Conditions and care
Choose a warm, dry day. Wait about a day before washing, then rinse salt off and use only non-abrasive polish.
Before you call
Have your model year, a photo of the area under a molding, and the distance from the molding to the bottom of the door.
Take it slowly
Six pieces is a modest kit, but the crease leaves less room for error than a flat strip. Do one piece at a time, and step back to look along the side after each one before moving on. If a piece starts to lift along the crease while you press, stop and call rather than forcing it.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
