For the 2009-2012 Nissan Maxima sedan, TH29540 is a two-piece set of 1.25" polished stainless steel strips. The record calls it "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker" and gives one placement note: "Installs below the door." Two pieces, no door involvement, and no linked parts on the listing.

Is this the right kind of rocker trim?
Rocker kits come in several types: some sit on the doors from the bottom up, some hang from a molding, and some, like this one, go on the body below the doors. If you have pictured a wide panel on the doors, this isn't it. It's a slim line along the sill. The photos show the look; for anything else, ask at 877-752-3811.
Years matter
The listing covers 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 only. Don't assume a Maxima outside that run takes the same strip.
Finding level
The ground isn't a reliable reference, and neither is a driveway that slopes. Instead, choose a body feature that runs the length of the sill, such as the bottom edge of the doors when closed, and measure down from it at both ends and the middle. Mark the height with painter's tape and recheck from several steps away.
Preparation
Wash the sill, let it dry, then wipe it with isopropyl alcohol. Repeat until the cloth comes away clean. Pick off any stuck gravel tar with a plastic tool rather than a blade.
On it goes
Dry-fit first with the liner on. When the ends land right, lift the front few inches of liner, press, then draw the liner out a little at a time as you press the strip along your tape line. A final firm pass with a cloth seats it.
What you'll want on hand
Car soap and a bucket, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape, a tape measure and a plastic trim tool. A helper to hold the far end of the strip during the dry-fit is useful but not essential with pieces this narrow.
Working temperature
Do the job in the shade on a mild, dry day. If the steel has been in a cold garage, bring it inside first so the tape is at a comfortable temperature when it meets the paint.
Measured height
Copy your measurements, not your eye. Checking the height at three points keeps each strip level.
Ownership
Wait about a day before washing. After that, regular rinsing and a non-abrasive metal polish now and then keep it looking right. Hard brushes leave scratches.

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.
