Product Description
8-Piece Upper Rocker Trim for GMC Yukon XL (1500, 2500, 3500), 2000-2006, Tagged No Flares, 4" (TH40298)
On TH40298 the fitment row lists the GMC Yukon XL 1500, 2500 and 3500 from 2000-2006 with the tag "NO Flares." The kit is eight polished stainless steel pieces, 4" wide, and the note puts them under the side molding: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The title names the XL and its three ratings as well, though not the flare tag.
Read this before ordering
Its one linked sibling, TH40297, carries the same Yukon XL rows, the same no-flares tag, the same width and the same note, but ten pieces. That's the only difference we can see. With nothing in the record to say which truck gets eight and which gets ten, we'd rather confirm with you directly than have you guess. Call 877-752-3811 with your year, model and a photo of the full side.
About the flare tag
Both XL records say no flares. If your truck does have flares, neither record names that, so call before buying either one.
Construction
QAA cuts the eight Yukon XL pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel of high quality, and they attach over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the GMC.
Molding as the guide
Every piece starts at the bottom of the side molding. A loose or missing section of molding throws off the line, so fix that first. The data doesn't list molding in the box.
Preview the band
A strip of painter's tape from the molding down four inches on one door is the fastest way to see the result before anything is peeled.
Eight pieces, sorted
The record doesn't give a layout. Use the product photos to sort the pieces, label the liners, and dry-fit a whole run.
Surface prep
Soap and water first, then a complete dry, then isopropyl alcohol across the band. Touch up chips and let them cure.
Pressing it on
Peel a short length of liner, set the top edge against the molding, and press along the piece as the liner comes off. Finish with firm pressure over the whole length.
Wrap-up
Swing each door through its full travel and confirm clearance. Check the line from the front of the truck. No washing for a day.
Conditions
Dry, mild weather or a garage, out of direct sun. Let cold parts warm up before you start.
Care
Mild soap, a soft mitt, a towel dry. Keep scrapers and abrasive pads away from the polished steel.
What to send when you call
Year, the exact badge (1500, 2500 or 3500), a photo of a full side, and a close-up of a front wheel opening. That's enough for us to compare against both records and tell you which one to order.
Gaps at the Yukon XL doors
Take each piece end's distance from its door gap and hold the rest to 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.
