Product Description
Chrysler Concorde 1996-1997 Upper Rocker Trim, 8 Pieces, 3.625" Under the Molding (TH36740)
TH36740 is the narrower of two rocker kits linked to the 1996-1997 Chrysler Concorde 4-door sedan. It's an eight-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit, 3.625" wide, and its note reads "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Top-down versus bottom-up
The Concorde's two kits start from opposite edges. This one hangs from the molding and runs down 3.625". The linked TH36741 is a Lower Kit: it starts at the bottom of the door and rises 6.25" to 7.25". So one is anchored to the molding, the other to the door bottom. The record doesn't say whether they're meant to be combined, and it doesn't give the Concorde's molding-to-door-bottom distance, so we can't tell you whether the two would meet, overlap or leave a gap. If you're considering both, call 877-752-3811 with your measurements.
What this kit looks like on the car
A strip just over three and a half inches tall directly below the molding, with paint below it. Preview it by running painter's tape along each door at that depth.
Matching pillar trim
PP36740, a six-piece pillar post kit for the same sedan, is linked. Check its listing for its finish.
Eight pieces
The record gives no layout. Match the Concorde pieces to the photos and label each liner.
Construction
The 1996-1997 Concorde sedan takes eight 3.625" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Straight lower edge
The bottom edge of an Upper Kit sits against paint in full view. Use your painter's tape preview as a guide and keep each piece's edge on it, checking from the front corner as you go.
Molding comes first
Since every piece hangs from the molding, it needs to be secure and straight. Press along it and fix loose sections before cleaning.
Cleaning
Car soap, rinse, dry, and isopropyl alcohol along the band. Repeat the alcohol until the cloth stays clean.
Placing pieces
Dry-fit, peel a few inches at one end, tuck the top edge under the molding, and press as the liner comes off.
Door gaps
After front and rear door pieces, check that the lower edges line up across the gap.
Mirror side
Measure the first Concorde pieces and keep those positions.
Afterward
Skip washing the Concorde for a day.
Choosing between the two
If you'd like a slim bright line right under the molding, this is the kit. If you'd rather cover the lower part of the door from the bottom up, the taller Lower Kit is the one to read about. Taping both previews on one door at the same time makes the comparison easy to see.
Gather
A tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, isopropyl alcohol, clean cloths and a plastic tool. Pick a calm, dry day out of the sun.
After a day, wash with mild soap only.

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.
