Product Description
2015-2018 Ford Focus Sedan Below-the-Door Rocker Strips, 2 Pieces, 1.25" (TH55346)
TH55346 is a pair of polished stainless steel strips, 1.25" wide, for the 2015-2018 Ford Focus 4-door sedan. The record's note is short: "Installs below the door."
Two strips for the Focus
The record lists two pieces but doesn't spell out where each strip starts and stops. The photos show the coverage, and a dry fit on the car confirms it before anything sticks.
A narrow line
At 1.25", these strips draw a thin polished line under the doors rather than a broad panel. If you'd also like trim on the doors themselves, the linked TH55345 is an eight-piece Lower Kit that runs from the bottom of the door up. Its upper taper figure has a typo in the record, so check that listing and ask us if it matters.
Construction
The two 1.25" 2015-2018 Focus strips go below the doors; they are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Measuring the rocker
Measure the flat area under the doors at the front, middle and rear and make sure 1.25" fits comfortably on it. If an aftermarket skirt or a repair has changed that area, send a photo to 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Clean where the road hits
Road spray builds up under the doors. Scrub it with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse well, and let it dry completely. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol right before you start.
Set a guide line
Run a strip of painter's tape along the rocker as a straight reference. With a long, narrow strip, a guide line makes it much easier to keep the steel straight from front to back.
Fitting each strip
- Tape the Focus strip up dry against the guide.
- Open both doors on that side and check they clear the strip.
- Peel a few inches of liner at the front, press, then peel and press toward the rear.
- Finish with firm pressure along the whole length.
Lining up each Focus strip
Measure how far the finished strip sits from the front and rear wheel openings, and use those numbers for the second.
Other Focus sedan parts
The linked list includes two wheel well kits (WQ55345 and WQ55346, with nothing in the record to tell them apart), MI55345 molding inserts, GC55345, RD55345, LB55345, LP55345 and RB55345. Check each listing for its finish.
Care
Wait a day before washing. Rinse road grime off the strips now and then; mild soap and a soft cloth are enough.
Before you order
Check the fitment line: 2015-2018, Focus, 4-door sedan. The record lists no other body style for this kit, so if your Focus is not a sedan, call us first. We can also look at a photo of the area under your doors and tell you how a 1.25" strip will sit on it, which is the easiest way to avoid surprises once the box arrives.

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.
