Product Description
Two Stainless Rocker Strips for the 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla Sedan, 1.25" Wide (TH29112)
TH29112 is the simplest rocker option QAA lists for the 2009-2013 Corolla sedan: two strips of polished stainless steel, 1.25" wide, filed as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker." The record's only placement note reads "Installs below the door." This page covers what that means and how to get both strips on straight.
Where the steel lives
Below the door means the strip rides on the body sill under the door openings, not on the door skins. Open a door and the strip stays where it is. Because nothing on the door bottom acts as a guide, you set your own reference line along the rocker before anything sticks.
- Pieces: two
- Width: 1.25"
- Material: high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel for the 2009-2013 Corolla
- Origin: made in the USA
- Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing Corolla surface
On the 2009-2013 Corolla, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the sedan.
Which Corolla
The fitment row is a single line: Toyota Corolla, 4-door sedan, 2009 through 2013. If your car is outside those years, call 877-752-3811 rather than assuming the strip carries over.
A guide line you can trust
Run a strip of painter's tape along the full length of one rocker at the height you want the top edge. Step back two car lengths and look at it from the front corner and again from the rear. Move the tape until it reads straight from both ends, then measure its height at three points and check the other strip the same way.
Surface work
Rockers collect road film and spray. Wash the area, rinse, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth comes away white. Feel for tar spots with a fingertip; anything raised under the tape will show as a bump in polished steel.
Setting each strip
Hold the strip against the painter's tape with its liner still on and confirm both ends land where you expect. Peel a few inches of liner at the front, press that end, sight down the length, then keep peeling and pressing in short sections. Finish with firm pressure from a clean cloth along the entire strip.
Pairing it with other Corolla trim
This sedan has a long linked list: the 14-piece AT29112 side accent at 0.75", GC29112 gas door cover trim with crease contour, LP29112 license plate bezel, RD29112 rear deck accent at 1.375", WQ29112 wheel well accents at 0.75", WS29112 window sills, three pillar kits (PP29112, PP29113, PP29114) and three window packages (WP29112, WP29113, WP29114). Check each listing for its finish and description before ordering them together.
Low-down care
The rocker sees more grit than any panel above it. Rinse it off after messy drives, dry it, and use a non-abrasive metal polish now and then. Give the tape about a day before the first wash.

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.
