Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2012-2015 Rocker Strips With Trim Crease, 1.25", Two Pieces (TH12214)
TH12214 is a two-piece stainless rocker trim for the four-door Honda Civic sedan, 2012 through 2015. Each strip is 1.25" wide, the width bullet says "with trim crease," and QAA notes it "Installs below the door." It's one of two Civic rocker panel parts on this sheet, and it is the one that goes lowest on the car.
Sedan only
The fitment row is the 4-door sedan. QAA's linked list does include a two-door coupe pillar kit, PP12212, but this rocker trim is not listed for the coupe. If you have a two-door Civic, this isn't the part; call to ask what fits.
Low strip or door kit
The other Civic rocker part is TH12215, a four-piece Lower Kit, 2" wide, that sits on the doors from the bottom edge up. TH12214 is two pieces and sits below the doors. You can choose one, or fit both for two separate lines of steel. The photos make the difference easy to see.
A creased profile
"With trim crease" means the steel has a formed bend rather than being flat. The record doesn't show where on the strip the bend runs, so look at the product photos and confirm the strip sits flush during your dry fit.
Construction and mounting
The two 1.25" Civic strips, with their trim crease, are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA and mounted directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Honda.
Fitment years
Honda Civic 4-door sedan: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.
Preparation
Clean the rockers thoroughly: soapy water and a soft brush, a rinse, a full dry, then an isopropyl alcohol wipe along the entire strip path. Stone chips should be touched up and cured first.
Install, side by side
The listing doesn't say where the two Civic pieces go; the photos show it. Dry-fit the first strip with the liner on, sight along it from the front bumper, and use painter's tape to mark the ends. Peel and press from front to rear. Measure from the front wheel opening to the strip's front end and use that same distance when you place the second Civic strip.
After
Leave it about a day before washing and avoid deep puddles. Warm weather helps the tape set.

Care
Rinse after winter driving, wash with mild soap, and use a non-abrasive polish occasionally. The rocker is the first place salt and grit settle, so a quick rinse of the lower body after a slushy drive does the most good.

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.
