Product Description
Chrysler Town & Country LXI 1996-2000 Upper Rocker Kit, 8 Stainless Pieces, 4" (TH35792)
TH35792 is tagged for the LXI. Its fitment row reads "4-door, Minivan, LXI" for the 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country, and the kit is eight pieces of polished stainless steel, an Upper Kit 4" wide that "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Why the LXI tag matters
A second linked kit, TH35791, has identical specs (eight pieces, 4", same span) but no trim tag. The record doesn't say what makes the LXI version different. Since we can't tell from the data, the safest order is by the tag: LXI owners, this kit. Owners of other trims should look at TH35791 or call 877-752-3811. If you're an LXI owner and the photos don't look right against your van, call too.
Taller coverage
For steel all the way to the door bottom, the linked TH35790 is a Full Kit, 8.5"-9" tapered, eight pieces. It has no trim tag.
Before buying, a measurement
Measure from the molding to the door bottom. Subtract 4" and you know how much painted band will remain under the steel. Whether a visible stripe of paint suits your van is a matter of taste, so decide before you order.
Construction
Town & Country steel: polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge, high quality, made in America.
Mounting
The eight Town & Country LXI strips go over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the 1996-2000 minivan.
Molding first
The top edge of every piece tucks under the molding. If any section is loose or wavy, fix it before cleaning; the steel will copy it.
Cleaning the band
Soap and water, dry, then isopropyl alcohol across the 4" band and a bit beyond.
Guide line
Run painter's tape 4" below the molding on every door as a guide for the lower edge.
Applying
Sort and label with the photos. Peel a short section, set the top under the molding, keep the bottom on the guide, and press along. Test sliding doors before the final press.
Care
No washing the minivan for a day.
What to tell us if you call
Your year, the trim as shown on the van or its paperwork, the molding-to-door-bottom readings, and a photo of the side. That's enough to compare the LXI kit with the untagged one.
Keeping the joints in step
With the first pieces on, measure where each sits from the door edges and use those positions for the rest.
Tools
A tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, and a plastic trim tool. Work in the shade on a dry, mild day.
Door gaps
After each front door piece goes on, open and close the door and check that the steel clears the body at the hinge side and the gap behind it.
If the dry run shows anything unexpected, such as a piece that doesn't match a door, stop before peeling a liner and call with the SKU below.

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.
