Product Description
Crown Victoria 1992-2009 & Grand Marquis LS/GS 1992-2011 Lower Rocker Kit, 8 Pieces, 4.69"-5.375" (TH38480)
TH38480's title and fitment rows list the 1992-2009 Ford Crown Victoria and the Mercury Grand Marquis LS and GS from 1992 to 2011. The Mercury span runs two years longer than the Ford's. The record lists both four-door sedans. It's eight pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit tapering 4.69" to 5.375".
Between the wheel wells
The note "Includes coverage between the wheel wells only" sets the length. The steel covers the lower doors and whatever lies between the front and rear wheel openings, not the fenders ahead or the quarter panels behind. The height note, "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," sets the band low on the car.
Grand Marquis trims
LS and GS appear on the Grand Marquis rows. If your Grand Marquis wears a different badge, the record doesn't list it; call 877-752-3811 with a photo.
The taper
Four and about eleven-sixteenths at one end, five and three-eighths at the other. The data doesn't say which end of the car is wider. The product photos show it.
Eight pieces
Positions aren't given. Sort the pieces with the photos and label each liner before starting.
No linked parts
This record has no siblings attached, so there's no alternate height to compare on this page.
Material and tape
Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis sedans get eight tapered strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless that fill the space between the wheel wells, held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the car.
On a car of this age
Some of these sedans have many years behind them. Check the lower door edges and the area ahead of the rear wheel for chips, bubbling or flaking paint, and repair them first.
Fitting
- Wash and dry the Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis low on the body, then alcohol-wipe.
- Dry-fit each piece, bottom edge on the door bottom.
- Check that the end pieces stop short of the wheel openings as the photos show.
- Peel a few inches of liner, set, and press along.
- Press hard to finish.
Keeping it straight
Sight along the car from the front bumper after each piece. The top edges should read as one tapered line.
Doors
Open each door fully after its piece is on and check the lower edge.
Care
No wash for a day; then mild soap.
Supplies
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, alcohol, towels; a mild, dry day.
Before you order
Check the nameplate and year against the rows: a Crown Victoria from 1992 to 2009, or a Grand Marquis LS or GS from 1992 to 2011, four-door sedan. Then make sure you want coverage only between the wheel wells. If both answers are yes, the record matches; anything else, call 877-752-3811 with a photo of the side of the car.
Ends near the wheels
The first and last pieces stop near the wheel openings. Dry-fit them slowly and compare with the photos so they sit where intended.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
