Product Description
Toyota Highlander 2008-2011 Rocker Trim, Six Pieces, Tapered 3.25" to 1" (TH28110)
TH28110 is a six-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2008-2011 Toyota Highlander, filed as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker," with the note "Installs below the door." The listed width tapers, and the record writes it from wide to narrow: 3.25" to 1".
A big taper
From three and a quarter inches down to one inch is a large change along a single run. The listing doesn't say which end of the SUV the wide part sits at or how the six pieces share the taper. Lay the pieces out, measure the ends of each, and compare them with the product photos before cleaning anything. If the arrangement isn't obvious, call 877-752-3811.
On the rocker
The steel goes on the body below the doors, so it stays put when the doors open. With no door bottom to rest against, you'll set your own guide line along the rocker.
Fitment
For the 2008-2011 Toyota Highlander 4-door SUV.
Nothing linked
This listing has no related parts attached. Ask about other Highlander trim when you call.
Material and mounting
All six Highlander pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and bond directly to the existing rocker surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the SUV.
Check the rocker
At the wide end, three and a quarter inches of rocker will be covered; at the narrow end, one inch. Look over the whole area for chips, scrapes and repairs.
Prep
Wash the rockers, clay away bonded grit, touch up chips, and finish with two or three passes of isopropyl alcohol.
A guide for a tapered piece
With a taper, the top edge isn't parallel to the bottom, so set your painter's tape guide along the bottom edge of where the steel will sit instead. Measure from the rocker's lower edge at several points and connect them.
Laying the pieces
Without peeling, line each piece's bottom edge up with the guide and check that joints between pieces flow smoothly from wide to narrow. Then peel a short section, press, and continue.
Highlander joint positions
Measure each joint from the wheel openings so the Highlander pieces stay consistent.
Supplies
Before fitting the Highlander's six pieces, gather soap, a clay bar, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure and a helper.
What it changes
A polished band along the rocker that narrows from one end to the other.
Afterward
Fit on a warm, dry day; wait about a day to wash; use only non-abrasive polish.
Before ordering
Measure how much flat rocker you have under each door at both ends. If one end has much less room than the other, compare that with the taper shown in the photos before you order. Have those measurements and your model year ready if you call.
Second press
An hour after you finish, run a soft cloth firmly over each piece, paying attention to the wide end.

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.
