Product Description
Eight-Piece 4.875" Upper Kit for the 1992-1995 Buick Skylark Sedan (TH32540)
For the four-door 1992-1995 Buick Skylark, TH32540 is a band of polished stainless steel that hangs from the side molding and drops 4.875". It's an Upper Kit of eight pieces, with the record's span note "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
The sedan kit
Its linked twin, TH32510, is the six-piece version tagged 2-door coupe. Same width, same kit type, different body. If your Skylark has four doors, this is the listing tagged for it.
Upper Kit basics
An Upper Kit takes its reference from the molding, not from the door bottom. The top edge of each piece sits right under the molding, and the bottom edge falls wherever 4.875" takes it. The record doesn't say how close that comes to the door bottom on this car, so preview it with painter's tape before you order or install.
Fitment
Buick Skylark, 4-door sedan, model years 1992-1995.
Material and tape
The Skylark pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without any damage to the car.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't confirm how the pieces divide by door. Match each piece to a door with the photos and tag it.
Older paint, more care
Thirty years of sun and washing can leave paint chalky or thin in places. After a soap wash, wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol; if the cloth picks up color, the paint is oxidized and needs a light polish (then another alcohol wipe) before the tape goes on. Test with a strip of painter's tape.
The molding has to be solid
Press along each door's molding. Any loose length will pull the steel with it over time, so reattach first.
Install method
Work one door at a time. Hold the piece up, liner on, top edge tight under the molding. When it's straight, peel a corner and press, then feed the liner out from behind while smoothing the steel. Finish with firm pressure along the entire piece.
Doors
Close each door gently after its piece and listen for contact.
Door-gap references
Measure each piece's position relative to the door gaps and keep it consistent with the pieces already fitted.
What you'll need
Skylark kit list: car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure and a plastic trim tool.
Previewing the bottom edge
Before cleaning, tape a line of painter's tape 4.875" below the molding along one door and look at it from the front corner of the car. If you like where it sits, go ahead. If it looks too low or too high, call before you start; once the steel is pressed down, it's meant to stay.
Day of install
Choose dry weather that's neither cold nor hot, and give the tape a day before washing.

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.
