Product Description
2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala Upper Rocker Trim, 3.5" Below the Molding, 8 Pieces (TH40135)
TH40135 is a 3.5" band of polished stainless steel for under the molding on a 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala four-door sedan. It's eight pieces, a Rocker Panel Trim Upper Kit, with the placement note "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
How it sits
The molding is the reference: each piece's top edge meets its underside and the steel hangs three and a half inches below. Whatever painted surface lies under that stays visible. Hold a strip of painter's tape at that depth on one door to see the effect.
Space check
Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. You'll want at least three and a half inches. If your car has less, or the molding has been replaced, call 877-752-3811 first.

Material
The Impala's eight Upper Kit pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, bonded over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
Eight pieces
No layout in the data. Match them to the photos and label each liner.
The molding comes first
Walk around and press along the molding. Any section that lifts should be re-secured before you start, because the steel follows its line.
Clean
Wash and dry under the molding, then an isopropyl alcohol wipe. Fix any flaking paint in the band.
Fitting
Dry-fit each piece with painter's tape, top edge snug under the molding. Then peel a few inches of liner, press that end, and continue across as the liner comes away. Firm pressure finishes it.
Panel gaps
Where pieces meet across door gaps, line up the top edges before pressing the next piece.
Doors
Open each door fully when you're done.
Supplies
For the Impala: a tape measure, painter's tape and a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and microfiber towels, on a dry, mild day.
Care
Keep the Impala out of the wash for a day.
The later pieces
Use the same measured positions on every Impala piece.
Choosing an Upper Kit
An Upper Kit puts a band of steel on the door without reaching the door bottom, so the lower edge of each door keeps its paint. Three and a half inches is a moderate band; if you want to see it on your own car before ordering, the painter's tape preview above takes two minutes.
Confirming fit
Check the year is between 2000 and 2005 and the car is the four-door Impala sedan. If your molding has been repaired or replaced, send a side photo when you call so we can confirm the steel will sit correctly under it.

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.
