Product Description
Ford Expedition 1997-2004 with Flares: 8-Piece Stainless Rocker Insert Kit, 5" (TH37387)
TH37387 is the flare version of the 1997-2004 Ford Expedition rocker insert. The fitment tag reads "4-door, SUV, w/ Flares," and the kit is eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 5" wide, filed as a Rocker Panel Trim Insert Kit with the note "Side Molding."
Check the wheel openings first
Walk around your Expedition and look at the wheel openings. If it wears flares, this is the kit the record points to. If it doesn't, the linked TH37383 is tagged "NO Flares" and comes as ten pieces with a "Center" note. Both are 5" wide and cover the same years.
Eight versus ten
The flare kit is two pieces lighter than its partner. The data doesn't say which positions account for the difference, so call to ask. The product photos for both listings are the best comparison.
Side Molding
That's the only placement note on this record. It tells you the kit is meant for the side molding area, but it doesn't describe how the eight pieces are arranged. If what you see on your truck doesn't line up with the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
What it's made of
The eight 5" Expedition molding pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel of high quality from a USA shop, mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Ford.
Flares and fitting
Pieces that end near a flare deserve close care during the dry run. Hold them in place with painter's tape and make sure each end sits cleanly before the liner comes off. If a piece runs into the flare, stop and call rather than forcing it.
Getting ready
- Painter's tape and a marker for labeling liners
- Car soap, clean water and lint-free towels
- Isopropyl alcohol for the final wipe
- A tape measure for checking positions
Laying it down
Clean and dry the area completely. Match each piece to its spot from the photos, start a few inches of liner, set the end, and press along as you pull. Finish every piece with firm pressure across its whole face.
Older paint
These trucks have seen years of weather. Any chalky, peeling or freshly repaired paint where the trim lands should be sorted out first; the tape holds only as well as the surface beneath it.
Care
Wait a day before the first wash, and use mild soap from then on. Avoid abrasive pads on the polished face.
Not sure about flares?
Flares can be fitted or removed after the truck leaves the factory. If yours is one, photos of each wheel opening sent with your call to 877-752-3811 let us settle which kit fits.
Ordering tip
Order only one of the two Expedition insert kits. They cover the same years and width, so buying both by mistake is easy if you skim the titles; the tag line, w/ Flares here, is what to read.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Insert 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.
