Product Description
Chevrolet Lumina Van 1990-1996 Full Rocker Kit, Nine Pieces, 7.5" (TH30172)
TH30172 is a nine-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1990-1996 Chevrolet Lumina Van, which the catalog tags as a 3-door minivan. The width is listed at 7.5", and two notes define the coverage: "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door" and "Includes coverage between the wheel wells only." Put together, the steel fills the band from the molding down to the door bottoms, and it stops at the wheel openings.
What "between the wheel wells only" rules out
Nothing here runs forward of the front wheels or behind the rear wheels. If you were hoping for steel from bumper to bumper, this record doesn't describe that, and no full-length version is linked to it. Ask at 877-752-3811 if that's what you're after.
Three doors, nine pieces
The listing doesn't assign the nine pieces to positions, and a three-door body won't necessarily split evenly, so don't assume the pieces pair up. Lay them out before cleaning, compare each with the photos, and label the liners. If one doesn't have a home, call before you install anything.
Fitment
Chevrolet Lumina Van, 1990 through 1996, 3-door minivan. One row, seven model years.
Material and mounting
For the Lumina Van, the nine pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the van.
Older lower panels
A van from these years has had a long time to collect wax, dressing and repairs down low. Wash, then wipe repeatedly with isopropyl alcohol until clean cloths stay clean. Look for chips or flaking paint in the 7.5" band; tape holds only as well as the paint beneath it, so sort those out first.
Molding and door bottom as guides
This kit has two edges to work to, the molding above and the door bottom below. Check that the molding is tight and straight along its run. Then dry-fit each piece with the liner on and confirm it fills the space without overlapping either edge.
Fitting the sliding side
Whatever door layout your van has, open and close every door after its piece goes on, and cycle any sliding door through its full travel to confirm the steel doesn't touch anything along the track.
Supplies
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure and a plastic trim tool for nudging old residue. A second pair of hands helps with the longer pieces, since a 7.5" panel is awkward to hold square while you peel the liner.
One linked part

Taking care of it
Let the tape cure about a day before washing. Mild soap, a soft mitt and an occasional non-abrasive polish are all the steel asks.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 9 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.
