Product Description
Lincoln Continental 1998-2004 Lower Rocker Kit, 5.125"-6" Tapered, 8 Pieces (TH38610)
TH38610 is a door-mounted rocker kit for the 1998-2004 Lincoln Continental sedan. Eight pieces of polished stainless steel form a Lower Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," tapering from 5.125" to 6".
On the door or below it
QAA links one other Continental kit for these years, and it works on a different surface. TH38611 is a six-piece "On the rocker" kit, 4" wide, with the note "Installs below the door." This kit goes on the doors themselves; that one goes under them. The record doesn't say the two are meant to be used together, and it doesn't rule it out either. If you're thinking of ordering both, call 877-752-3811 first so we can confirm they suit your car side by side.
Quick comparison
- TH38610 (this kit): eight pieces, Lower Kit, 5.125"-6", from the door bottom up.
- TH38611: six pieces, On the rocker, 4", below the door.
The taper
Five and an eighth inches at one end, six at the other. Which end is which isn't in the data; check the product photos.
Preview it
Run a strip of painter's tape about five and a half inches up from the bottom of a front door and look from a few steps back. That shows roughly where the top edge lands.
Material
The Continental's eight tapered pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, fixed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't assign them to positions. Match each to the photos and label the liners front to rear.
The door bottoms
A Lower Kit's bottom edge sits on the bottom edge of the door. Inspect it on all four doors. Chips or rust should be repaired, and fresh paint allowed to cure, before steel goes over it.
Install sequence
Wash, dry and wipe each door's lower area with isopropyl alcohol. Dry-fit a piece with painter's tape, peel back a few inches of liner, set the end, and press along as the liner comes free. Firm hand pressure over the finished piece locks it down.
Following the taper
Because the top edge rises along its length, line up each piece's ends with the photos rather than with a level. Sight down the car from the front after each one.
Clearance
Open each door fully and watch the lower edge as it swings.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and lint-free towels.
From the door edges back
Measure each Continental position from the door edges and keep it consistent.
Upkeep
Leave it a day before washing. Mild soap after that.
Before ordering
Confirm a 1998-2004 Continental four-door sedan, then decide whether you want steel on the doors, below them, or both. Photos of the side of your car sent with a call to 877-752-3811 help us confirm either choice.

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.
