Product Description
Dodge Nitro 2007-2011 Lower Door Trim, 3.75", 6 Pieces (TH47940)
TH47940 is a Lower Kit for the Dodge Nitro four-door SUV, 2007-2011. Six polished stainless steel pieces, 3.75" wide, follow the bottom edge of the doors; the note reads "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Door bottoms or molding?
The Nitro group has two rocker records. This Lower Kit covers the lower band of the doors, three and three-quarter inches tall. TH47941 is a four-piece Insert Kit, 1" wide, that sits on the side molding. The two cover different parts of the side, and the catalog doesn't say whether they're designed to be used together. If you'd like both, call 877-752-3811 and ask before ordering.
Where 3.75" reaches
Before ordering, measure up from the bottom edge of a front door and a rear door. If your Nitro has molding or a body line lower than three and three-quarter inches from the bottom, the top of the steel would run into it. A strip of painter's tape at that height makes it easy to see.
Six pieces
Six pieces on four doors; the data doesn't explain the split. Sort with the product photos, group by door, and number the liners.
Material
Dodge's 2007-2011 Nitro takes six 3.75" strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, set on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape from the door bottom up over the existing surface. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the SUV.
Door edges and prep
Open each door and inspect the bottom edge. It sets the line for every piece, so chips, dents or rust need fixing first. Then wash, rinse, dry, and wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol.
Setting the pieces
Tape each piece in place with painter's tape and close the door to check the gaps. Open, peel a short length of liner, set the end flush with the bottom edge, and press along as you draw the liner out. Firm pressure over the whole piece. Front and rear pieces should meet the door gap at the same height.
The Nitro group
LB47940 license bar (with logo cut-out), LP47940 plate bezel, PP47940 and PP47941 pillar posts, RB47940 rear bumper accent at 8.75", RD47940 rear deck accent at 1.25", SG47940 lower grille accent at 3.5", WQ47940 wheel well accent trim and WS47940 window sills.
After
Open and close every door. Wait a day before washing; then mild soap and a soft mitt.
Conditions
Do the Nitro in shelter or on a dry, mild day.
Before ordering
Nitro, 2007-2011, four doors with clean lower edges and nothing in the way within three and three-quarter inches of the bottom. If that's your SUV, this is the kit.
What to send if you call
Year, a full side photo, and a close-up of the lower front door with a tape measure held up from the bottom edge.
A helper
Someone steadying the door helps keep each piece flush with the edge.
Nitro spacing
Use the door gaps as markers and keep each Nitro position consistent.

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.
