Product Description
Nissan Sentra 2007-2012 Rocker Strip, 1.25", Two Pieces Below the Doors (TH28575)
TH28575 is a two-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra sedan, 1.25" wide, filed as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker." Its note: "Installs below the door."
Low and simple
Two pieces, one narrow width, one zone. The trim sits on the body under the doors, so opening and closing them doesn't disturb it. It's a modest addition that puts a polished line along the bottom of the car without touching the doors themselves.
Six model years
Nissan Sentra sedans from 2007 to 2012, 4-door only.
Upper trim for the same car
The linked parts are all window-area trim: PP28575 (four-piece) and PP28576 (six-piece) pillar post kits, and window packages WP28575 (10 pieces, upper trim and pillar posts, no sills) and WP28576 (four pieces, upper trim only). Check each listing for its finish.
Build
Both Sentra strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, attached over the current finish using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without any damage to the car's surface.
Layout
The record doesn't describe exactly where the two pieces sit. Use the product photos, and call 877-752-3811 if anything is unclear.
Rocker condition
The band an inch and a quarter up from the rocker's lower edge will be covered. Check it in good light for chips and scrapes, and touch those up first.
Cleaning steps
- Wash and rinse the rockers.
- Clay any rough spots.
- Wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean.
- Let everything dry completely.
Straight placement
Measure up from the rocker's lower edge at several points and run painter's tape along the marks. Hold each piece to it with the liner still on, step back, and look along the side. When it's right, peel a few inches at a time and press.
Matching
With only two strips, measure each one's ends from the wheel openings and confirm the placement with the photos.
Supplies
Kit list for the Sentra: wash soap, clay bar, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure; a helper makes positioning easier.
Conditions
A warm, dry day, or a garage. Let a cold car warm up first.
Care
About a day before washing. Rinse road salt off the rockers through winter and use non-abrasive polish only.
Before ordering
Confirm your Sentra is the 4-door sedan from 2007 through 2012. If you call 877-752-3811, have your model year handy.
Two long pieces
With only two pieces, there are few joints to worry about, but each piece is long. Start carefully: line up the first few inches, press, and check the line before going further. Leave the guide tape in place until both pieces on that side are down, then pull it away slowly.
Second press
An hour later, run a soft cloth firmly over each piece once more.
What it changes
A narrow 1.25-inch polished line beneath the Sentra doors.

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.
