Product Description
Ford Freestar Van 2004: Upper Rocker Kit, 6.5" Below the Molding, 8 Pieces (TH44340)
TH44340 is an eight-piece Upper Kit for the Ford Freestar minivan. The fitment row reads "Ford Freestar Van 2004-2004," a single model year, tagged "4-door, Minivan." The polished stainless steel pieces are 6.5" wide and "Span from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
One model year
The record lists 2004 only. It doesn't say whether other Freestar years share the same doors and molding. If your van is from another year, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Six and a half inches under the molding
The top edge meets the bottom of the side molding and the steel runs six and a half inches down. Measure that distance on a front door and on the sliding door if your van has one. If the space below the molding is close to that figure or less, call first.
Sliding doors
If your van has sliding doors, dry-fit those pieces and slide the door open and closed slowly before peeling any liner. The record doesn't describe sliding-door pieces specifically.
No siblings
Nothing is linked to this record.
Material
- Freestar steel: 304 stainless, polished, 26 gauge.
- Freestar trim made in the USA.
- Goes over the Freestar's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
On the Freestar, QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the van's paint.
Molding first
Since every piece hangs from it, the molding must be straight and secure. It isn't included.
Clean
Wash, rinse, dry, then isopropyl alcohol over the band and into the corner below the molding. Repair chips.
Eight pieces
No layout is given. Sort with the photos and label the liners.
Applying
Peel a few inches of liner, butt the top edge to the molding, press along, and finish firmly.
After
Run every door, hinged and sliding, through its full travel. Check the line from the front of the van. Wait a day to wash.
Freestar spacing
Measure each piece end from the door gaps so the spacing stays even.
Conditions
A garage or dry, mild weather suits the Freestar job.
Before ordering
Check the year on your registration, look over the molding along its length, and measure the space below it. If the van is a 2004 with molding in good shape and room for six and a half inches of steel, this record matches. If not, call 877-752-3811 with a side photo.
Preview
A strip of painter's tape from the molding down six and a half inches on one door gives a quick look at the finished band.
A helper
Someone holding the far end off the paint keeps the tape clean and the top edge snug to the molding.
Care
Mild soap and a soft mitt, then a towel dry. Avoid abrasive pads and rinse off road salt in winter.
What to send
Year, a photo of the van, and your molding-to-door-bottom measurement.
Supplies
Freestar supplies: painter's tape and a tape measure for layout, isopropyl alcohol with microfiber cloths for prep, and a marker to label each liner.

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.
