Product Description
Lincoln Town Car L Model 2000-2010: Lower Rocker Kit, 4.5", 8 Pieces (TH40688)
TH40688 is for the Lincoln Town Car L model, 2000-2010. The fitment tag reads "4-door, Town Car L model," and the kit is eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 4.5" wide, filed as a Lower Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
L model only
This record is specific to the L model. Other Town Car records in the catalog cover the sedan and limousine versions. Check your registration or the badging to confirm yours is an L before ordering. If you're unsure, call 877-752-3811.
Lower Kit or Upper Kit
The one linked sibling is TH40689, an eight-piece Upper Kit for the same L model at 8.25". The two are placed differently:
- TH40688 (this one): starts at the bottom of the door and rises 4.5".
- TH40689: starts at the bottom of the side molding and runs down 8.25".
The record doesn't say whether they're meant to be combined. If you're thinking of both, call first.
Steel
The Town Car L kit is eight polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces made in the USA. They mount over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the long-wheelbase Lincoln.
Picture it first
Mark four and a half inches up from the bottom of a door with painter's tape. Then, on another door, mark from the molding down eight and a quarter inches. Comparing the two on your car is the clearest way to choose between the records.
Laying out
The data has no piece map. Use the product photos, separate the sides, and number the liners.
Preparing the doors
Wash, rinse, dry, then isopropyl alcohol across the band. Touch up chips and let them cure.
Applying
Dry-fit each piece with painter's tape first. Then peel back a few inches of liner, rest the bottom edge on the door bottom, and press along as the rest comes off, ending with firm pressure.
Checking
Open each door fully and confirm the bottom edges clear. Look down the length of the Town Car L. Wait a day before washing.
Keeping the L model even
Use the Town Car L door gaps as references and keep each position consistent.
Conditions
Dry and mild, or in a garage. Warm the parts if it's cool out.
Care
Mild soap and a soft mitt; dry afterward.
Before ordering
Confirm the L model badge or paperwork, then decide between steel rising from the door bottom and steel hanging from the molding. If your car has trim, damage or panels that don't match the product photos, send a picture first so we can check fit.
A second pair of hands
Longer pieces are easier with help: one person keeps the far end off the paint while the other sets the bottom edge and presses along. It also keeps the exposed tape clean.
Questions
Year, model, and a photo of your Town Car L are all we need to confirm fit.

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.
