Product Description
Town & Country, Grand Caravan & Routan Lower Kit, "Cut Back to Flare," 5.5", 8 Pieces (TH48895)
TH48895 is a Lower Kit for three minivans: the Chrysler Town & Country 2008-2016, the Dodge Grand Caravan 2008-2020, and the Volkswagen Routan 2009-2012, all four-door. Eight polished stainless steel pieces, 5.5" wide, span "from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," and the width bullet says "cut back to flare."
Three nameplates, three spans

Cut back vs full length
The minivan group has two eight-piece, 5.5" Lower Kits. This one is "cut back to flare." TH48896 is "Full Length," and it also lists an "Eagle Coach" body. The record doesn't say exactly how far back this kit stops or what "flare" refers to on these vans. The product photos of both kits are the best comparison; if they don't settle it, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Wheel well trim clue
Two linked wheel well accent records hint at how the group fits together: WQ48895 is "Full Length," and WQ48896 is "Cut to fit with Rocker kit TH48896 sold separately." That second note ties a cut-to-fit wheel well part to the other rocker kit, not this one. The data doesn't say which wheel well record pairs with TH48895. Ask before ordering both.
Material
The Town & Country, Grand Caravan and Routan kit is eight 5.5" strips cut back to the flare, made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and set with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the minivan.
Eight pieces
The data doesn't explain how they divide among the doors. Lay them out with the photos and label each liner.
Door travel
Once installed, open every door through its full travel slowly, sliding doors included, and watch the steel. Nothing should rub or catch.
Prep and install
Check the lower door edges for chips, wash, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Painter's tape dry-fit first, then set each piece with a short liner peel, its bottom edge flush, pressing along. Firm pressure to finish.

After
A day before washing; then soap and water.
Before ordering
Match your nameplate and year to the list, then decide between cut-back and full-length coverage. Measure five and a half inches up from the bottom of each door and mark it with painter's tape; if anything sits below that line, mention it when you call. A photo of the full side of the van, sent to 877-752-3811, lets us compare both kits against it.
Town & Country gaps
Measure the first pieces from the door gaps and use those positions for the rest.
Help
A second person makes the longer pieces easier to place straight.
Preview
Leave the tape line on a day.

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.
