Product Description
VW Passat Sedan 2006-2011 Full Kit, 3.9" to 5.6" Tapered, Eight Pieces (TH26675)
TH26675 is a Full Kit for the 2006-2011 Volkswagen Passat sedan: eight pieces of polished stainless steel, tapered from 3.9" to 5.6", that "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." It fills the whole area between the side molding and the door's lower edge.
Molding to door bottom
A Full Kit has two reference lines, the molding above and the door bottom below, and the steel fills the space between them. The listing gives a taper from 3.9" at one point to 5.6" at another. It doesn't say which end is which, so the photos are your guide.
Check the space on your Passat
At several points along each door, measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. Your numbers should fall within the listed 3.9" to 5.6" range. If they don't, or if your moldings are missing or different from the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Model years
Volkswagen Passat, 4-door sedan, 2006 through 2011.

No related parts are linked to this listing. Ask about other Passat trim when you call.
Steel, tape, origin
The eight Passat pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, bonded over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan.
Big pieces need full contact
Up to five and a half inches tall, these pieces cover a lot of paint. Every part of it needs to be sound: fix chips and dents, polish away oxidation, then wipe the whole area between molding and door bottom with isopropyl alcohol. Clean right up under the molding lip.
Sort and label
The record doesn't describe how the eight pieces are laid out. Match them to the photos by shape and taper direction, and write side and position on each liner.
Fitting between two lines
Hold a piece with the liner on so the top edge meets the molding and the bottom edge lines up with the door bottom. Check the ends and open the door. If both edges sit right, peel from the top and press down, working out air across the full height.
Where the Passat joints fall
Measure each Passat joint from the wheel openings and keep the positions consistent.
Tools and a helper
Soap, polish, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, and a second person to steady the tall pieces.
What it changes
The whole lower door, from molding to edge, becomes polished steel, a much bolder look than a narrow strip.
Timing
Choose a warm, dry day, and allow a full afternoon. Keep the car dry for about a day.
Care
Rinse winter salt off and use only non-abrasive polish on the steel.
Tip: press from the middle of each piece outward to both edges so no air stays trapped.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
