Product Description
Nissan Versa Sedan 2012-2019 Rocker Strips, 1.25", Two Pieces (TH12530)
TH12530 is the on-the-rocker member of a three-kit family QAA lists for the Nissan Versa sedan, model years 2012 through 2019. It's two pieces of polished stainless steel, 1.25" wide, with the placement note "Installs below the door." Its two relatives go on the doors themselves, so the first job is figuring out which line you want.
Three Versa rocker panel kits
- TH12530 (this one): two pieces, 1.25", on the rocker, below the door
- TH12531: four-piece Lower Kit, 1", with trim crease, on the doors from the bottom edge up
- TH12532: four-piece Upper Kit, 1", on the doors from the bottom of the molding down
Each kit lives at a different height according to its note. TH12530 is the lowest of the three and the only one off the doors.
Eight model years
The fitment is the Versa 4-door sedan from 2012 through 2019: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Only the sedan is listed.
Material and adhesive
QAA cuts the two 1.25" Versa strips in the USA from high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Nissan.
Check the surface
The record gives a width but no length, so use the photos to see where each strip begins and ends. On your car, look for a smooth band at least 1.25" tall on the rocker. Heavy texture, a deep curve or damage there is worth a call before you order.
Cleaning
Wash the rockers with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse, and dry. Tar spots come off with a tar remover, followed by another wash. Wipe the whole strip path with isopropyl alcohol last.
About the Versa strips
The record lists two pieces but doesn't say where each goes; the photos show the layout. The listing doesn't state it, so confirm with the photos when the kit arrives.
Installing
Run a painter's tape guide along the rocker at the height you want the strip's top edge. With the liner on, hold the strip to the guide and sight along it from the front. Peel a few inches, anchor the front end, then peel and press toward the rear. Go over the whole strip once more with firm pressure. Measure each strip's position from a fixed point such as a wheel opening and check it against the photos.
Afterward
Give it about a day before washing, and plan the job for a warm, dry day.

Care
Rinse off salt and grit regularly; mild soap and a soft cloth do the rest. A non-abrasive polish brings back the shine if water spots dull it.

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.
