Product Description
Ford Excursion 2000-2003 Lower Rocker Trim, 5.5", Between the Wheel Wells, 8 Pieces (TH40380)
TH40380 is a Lower Kit for the Ford Excursion from 2000-2003, tagged "4-door, SUV." It's eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 5.5" wide, and two notes describe placement: "Includes coverage between the wheel wells only," and "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Between the wheel wells
That first note sets the limits. Coverage stops at the wheel openings; the record doesn't describe any pieces for the areas ahead of the front wheels or behind the rear ones. If you were hoping for trim from bumper to bumper, this record doesn't say it provides that, so check the product photos and call 877-752-3811 if you need more.
Five and a half inches up the doors
The bottom of each piece sits at the bottom of the door, and the steel rises five and a half inches. Hold a tape measure against a door to see where that lands, or mark it with painter's tape and look from a few steps away.
On its own
No sibling records are linked, so this sheet doesn't point to pillar, wheel well, or other trim for the Excursion.
Steel and mounting
Cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, the eight Excursion pieces cover the area between the wheel wells and attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Before you order
- Confirm the year falls in 2000-2003.
- Decide whether trim only between the wheel wells suits you.
- Check that the lower doors are flat and sound where the band will sit.
Laying out eight pieces
The data doesn't say which piece goes where. The product photos show the set. Label the liners and dry-fit with painter's tape before peeling anything.
Prep the doors
Lower door edges on a big SUV take a lot of spray. Wash, scrub the bottom edges, rinse and dry fully. Wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol. Repair chips and let them cure.
Applying
Start each piece by peeling a few inches of liner and setting the bottom edge along the door bottom. Press as you pull the liner. Finish with firm pressure all along.
After installing
Open each door fully and close it to check that the bottom edges clear. Sight along the Excursion from the front. Wait a day before washing.
Matching the sides
Measure where each piece ends relative to the door gaps and line up the later ones the same way.

Conditions for the job
Pick a dry, mild day or work in a garage. Cold steel and cold paint slow the tape's bond, so give both time to warm up. Keep the work out of direct sun, which can make the panels too hot to handle comfortably.
Keeping it clean
Wash the trim with the rest of the truck using mild soap and a soft mitt, and towel it dry. Skip abrasive pads.

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.
