Product Description
GMC Yukon 2000-2006 With Fender Flares: 8-Piece Upper Rocker Trim Kit, 4" Under the Molding (TH40296)
If your 2000-2006 GMC Yukon wears fender flares, this is the Upper Kit tagged for it: "4-door, w/ Flares." TH40296 is eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 4" wide, and the placement note says it "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Eight here, ten on the other one
The linked TH40295 is the same 4" Upper Kit tagged "NO Flares," with ten pieces. The record doesn't explain why the flared version has two fewer or which areas they cover. Check the product photos for each, and if the count matters for your truck, call 877-752-3811.
Checking for flares
Look closely at the edge of each wheel opening and compare it with the product photos. If you're unsure whether what you see counts as flares, a quick photo sent to us settles it.
Steel, tape, origin
QAA forms each of the eight 4" Yukon pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, mounted over the existing surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the GMC.
Under the molding
The top edge of each piece sits against the bottom of the side molding. That makes the molding the guide for the whole job, so confirm it's straight and secure. Loose or missing molding sections should be sorted out first. Nothing in the data says molding is included.
Preview with tape
Run painter's tape from the molding down four inches on a front door. Look at it from a few steps away and check that the bottom of the band stays on the door.
Prep
Soap, water, a full rinse and dry. Then isopropyl alcohol over the whole band, especially the strip just under the molding.
Fitting the eight
Lay the pieces out with the photos and number the liners. Tape each one in place dry. Once the side looks right, peel a few inches of liner, butt the top edge against the molding, and press along to the end. Finish with firm pressure.
Final look
Open every door to confirm the bottom clears. Sight along the top edge from the front bumper. Give it a day before washing.
Conditions
Dry weather, mild temperatures, out of direct sun. A garage is ideal.
What to send if unsure
A photo of a front wheel opening, one of the full side, and your model year. With those we can confirm flares versus no flares and the right piece count.
Keeping the shine
Wash the trim with the truck using a soft mitt and mild soap, then dry it. Keep hard scrapers and stiff brushes off the polished surface.
Flare and gap spacing
As you go, note where each piece ends relative to the door gaps and flare edges, and place the later pieces the same way so the truck looks even from either curb.

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.
