Product Description
Volkswagen Jetta Sedan 2005-2010 Lower Door Kit, 1.875", Eight Pieces (TH25665)
TH25665 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan. Each piece is listed at 1.875", one and seven-eighths inches, and the placement reads "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A slim line along the doors
Under two inches tall, this is a restrained kit. It starts at the bottom edge of each door and climbs just far enough to put a crisp band of polished steel along the lower body. No taper is listed, so the top edge should run parallel to the door bottom the whole way.
Jetta years covered
Fits the 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan.

How eight pieces are shared out
The record doesn't say. A four-door sedan with eight pieces could mean more than one piece per door, but don't assume; lay them out against the product photos and number each liner. If it still isn't clear, call 877-752-3811.
Build and mounting
The eight 1.875" 2005-2010 Jetta strips are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Volkswagen sedan.
Clean paint first
On a Jetta of these years, the bottom inches of the doors have usually taken their share of grit. Wash, feel for roughness, and clay it smooth. Touch up any chips and allow them to cure. A final isopropyl alcohol wipe removes the wax and polish oils that keep tape from sticking.
One piece at a time
Choose a door, find its pieces, and hold each in place with the liner still on. Swing the door shut gently to check that the ends clear. Satisfied? Peel back a little liner, press, and work toward the other end, keeping firm pressure across the full width.
Keeping the joints consistent
Measure from the front wheel opening to each joint on the side you've finished. Use the same numbers for the next run.
Gather beforehand
Car soap, a clay bar, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free towels, painter's tape and a ruler.
When to do it
Pick a mild, dry day, or work in a garage, and let the car sit for about a day before washing.
Ongoing
Rinse salt off the lower doors through winter, dry the steel to prevent water spots, and use only a non-abrasive polish.

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.
