Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2006-2011 Rocker Strip, 1.25", Two Pieces (TH26214)
Just two pieces: TH26214 puts a 1.25" strip of polished stainless steel on the rocker of the 2006-2011 Honda Civic sedan. It's filed as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker," and its note says "Installs below the door."
Why two pieces is useful
Fewer pieces means fewer joints, and on a rocker strip the joints are what people notice. The listing doesn't describe the layout, so look at the photos for where each piece sits.
Below-door placement
The steel sits on the body under the doors, so the doors open and close without moving it. Since there's no door edge to rest against, run a painter's tape guide along the rocker, measured up from its lower edge at several points.
Fitment
Honda Civic, 4-door sedan, 2006 through 2011.
Plenty to pair with it
This sedan has a long linked list: DS26214 door sills (four pieces, 1.625"), MI26214 body molding inserts (eight pieces, 0.5" to 0.8125"), WQ26214 wheel well accents, WS26214 window sills, pillar post kits PP26214 and PP26215, window packages WP26214 (16 pieces, full package) and WP26215 (upper trim only), GC26214 gas door cover trim with crease contour, RD26214 deck trim at 1.25" with trim crease, and LP26214 license plate bezel (6.94"). Check each listing for its finish.
Material
Both Civic strips are made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and attach on top of the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the car.
Measuring
Mark one and a quarter inches up from the rocker's lower edge under each door. The paint in that band needs to be smooth and chip-free.
Rocker cleanup
Wash, then clay. Fix gravel chips and let them cure. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth comes away clean.
Long pieces, steady hands
With only two pieces, each covers a long run. Have a helper hold the far end off the paint while you line up the near end to the tape guide. Peel a few inches, press, check the line from the front of the car, and continue.
Strip placement
Measure where the first piece starts and ends from the wheel openings, then mark those points for the second.
What you'll use
Lay out what the Civic job needs first: wash soap and a clay bar, touch-up paint for chips, alcohol with clean lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a measuring tape.
Conditions and care
Warm and dry for the install, about a day before washing. After that, rinse winter salt off the rockers and use only non-abrasive polish.
What it changes
A thin, bright line low on the sedan, under the doors. The door skins stay as they are, which keeps the look understated.
Before ordering
Make sure your Civic is the 4-door sedan from 2006 through 2011, and look at the rockers for chips, scrapes or repairs. If you call 877-752-3811, have your model year handy.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 2 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.
