Product Description
Chevrolet Lumina Sedan 1990-1994 Upper Rocker Kit, 5.5" Down From the Molding, Between the Wheel Wells, 8 Pieces (TH19170)
TH19170 is an eight-piece Upper Kit in polished stainless steel for the four-door Chevrolet Lumina sedan, 1990 through 1994. It's 5.5" wide and has two notes that define its coverage: "Includes coverage between the wheel wells only" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
What "between the wheel wells only" means
The kit covers the stretch of the lower body from the front wheel opening to the rear wheel opening. It doesn't extend ahead of the front wheels or behind the rear ones. That's useful to know when you picture the finished look: the steel runs along the doors and the panels between the wheels and stops there.
From the molding down
The top edge of each piece starts at the bottom of the side molding and the steel extends five and a half inches below it. Measure that on your Lumina: from the molding's lower edge, 5.5" down. Check the surface is smooth over that whole band. If the molding is missing or the measurement doesn't fit your car, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Sedan or coupe
QAA links TH19171 for the 2-door Lumina coupe: same width and notes, six pieces instead of eight. Order by your body style.
Material and attachment
QAA makes the Lumina's eight pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they go on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Surface condition
A car from these years deserves a close look before taping. Oxidized paint can be polished back to a firm finish. Rust, bubbles, flaking or cracked filler must be repaired and cured. Fill any old holes in the band.
Cleaning
Wash and dry. Wipe the whole 5.5" band and the underside edge of the molding with isopropyl alcohol.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't say how the eight split between the doors and the panels between the wheels. Match them to the photos and number them.
Installing
Dry-fit pieces with liners on, tops tucked to the molding. Check that the ends near the wheel openings look even and that both doors open freely. Peel and press one piece at a time across the full height.
Supplies
Car soap, polish if the paint is dull, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape for numbering, and a tape measure.
Timing and help
A warm, dry day with a helper; about a day before washing. Large pieces grab best on warm panels, so let the car sit in a garage or the sun first on a cool day.
Care
Rinse salt off the lower body and polish with a non-abrasive product.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
