Product Description
Town & Country / Grand Caravan / Routan Full-Length Lower Kit, 5.5", 8 Pieces (TH48896)
TH48896 is the "Full Length" Lower Kit for the Chrysler Town & Country (2008-2016), Dodge Grand Caravan (2008-2020) and Volkswagen Routan (2009-2012). It's eight polished stainless steel pieces at 5.5", spanning up from the bottom of the door. Its fitment lists two bodies: "4-door, Minivan" and "4-door, Minivan, Eagle Coach."
Eagle Coach on the fitment
The second row names an Eagle Coach version. The record doesn't say how that body differs or whether the same eight pieces fit both bodies identically. If you have an Eagle Coach conversion, call 877-752-3811 with photos before ordering.
The cut-to-fit wheel well partner
A linked part names this kit directly: WQ48896, a four-piece wheel well accent trim with the note "Cut to fit with Rocker kit TH48896 sold separately." So if you plan to fit wheel well trim alongside this rocker kit, that's the record designed to go with it. WQ48895, the other linked wheel well part, is "Full Length."
Full length vs cut back
TH48895 is the same width and piece count but "cut back to flare." The data doesn't give the length difference. Compare the product photos of both and order the one whose coverage you want.
Three vans
The title names the Town & Country, the Grand Caravan and the Routan, each with its own years, as the fitment does.
Material and mounting
The eight full-length minivan pieces for the Town & Country, Grand Caravan and Routan are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Laying out eight pieces
The record doesn't assign pieces to doors or panels. Use the photos and number the liners.
Prep
Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the lower band along the van. Fix chips on the lower edges.
Install
- Dry-fit a whole side with painter's tape.
- Set front to rear: short liner peel, bottom edge flush, press along.
- Press firmly over all pieces.
- Open every door through its full travel and check for contact.

After
Give the Town & Country trim a full day before its first wash.
Before ordering
Find your van in the fitment, confirm whether it is an Eagle Coach, and decide whether you want the full-length coverage or the cut-back version. Then mark five and a half inches up from each door bottom with painter's tape and look along the whole side. If you are also ordering the cut-to-fit wheel well trim, say so when you call; we can confirm the pair together at 877-752-3811.
Grand Caravan spacing
Use the door gaps and wheel openings to set every piece at the same height.
Care
Clean the Grand Caravan strips with mild soap and water; skip abrasives.
Help and weather
Two people and a dry, mild day, or a garage.
Lower edges
Sight along the bottom of every door before you start. Chips or dents along that edge sit right beside the steel, so touch them up first.

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.
