Product Description
2016-2017 Honda Accord Rocker Strips, 1.25", Two Pieces, Not for Sport Model (TH16282)
The first thing to know about TH16282: it "Does not fit Sport Model." This two-piece polished stainless steel rocker trim is listed for the 2016 and 2017 Honda Accord sedan, 1.25" wide, and it "Installs below the door." If your Accord is a Sport, this isn't the part.
Checking your trim level
Check your original paperwork, window sticker or registration for the trim level. The record doesn't explain what about the Sport prevents the fit, only that it doesn't fit. The linked WQ16281 wheel well accents carry the same exclusion. If you aren't sure which Accord you have, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Years
For the 2016 and 2017 Honda Accord 4-door sedan.
On the rocker
Below the door means the rocker panel beneath the door openings. The linked TH16281 is the door-mounted alternative: four pieces, 1" wide, from the bottom of each door up. Unlike this strip, TH16281's record doesn't list a Sport exclusion, but confirm by phone if you own a Sport.
Material and mounting
- Polished 304 stainless of high quality, 26 gauge
- USA-built
- Two Accord pieces held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
- Goes on over the surface already there
On this Accord, QAA states the tape below the doors will hold for a lifetime and will not damage the sedan.
Length not given
The record lists width only. Use the photos to see the run, and make sure your rocker has a smooth band at least 1.25" tall.
Rocker cleaning
Brush with soapy water, rinse, and dry. A tar remover takes off black spots; wash again afterward. Finish with an isopropyl alcohol wipe along the whole path.
A level line
Measure up from the bottom of the rocker at the front and rear of the run and join the marks with painter's tape. Hold the strip to the line, liner on, and sight from the front bumper.
Applying
Anchor the front end, then peel and press toward the rear a few inches at a time. Press the full length again with a soft cloth. Once the first strip is set, reuse your measurements for the second.
Supplies
Gather soapy water, a soft brush, tar remover, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure; no hardware is used on the Accord.
Check both strips
When the kit arrives, lay the two strips next to each other. If the two differ, label each and check the photos so it goes where QAA shows it.
First day
No washing for about a day; avoid deep water. Warm weather helps the tape bond, so a garage is a good choice on a cold day.
Linked Accord trim

Upkeep
Rinse after winter drives; a non-abrasive polish brings back the shine. Wash with a mild soap and a soft cloth, and avoid scouring pads, which can scratch polished stainless.

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.
