Product Description
Lincoln Navigator 2015-2017 Upper Rocker Kit, 5", 4 Pieces, Not for the "L" (TH55655)
TH55655 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator 4-door SUV. The note says "With top and bottom crease, does not fit the "L" version," and the steel spans "from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width," 5" in all.
Standard or L?
QAA splits the Navigator rocker parts by body. For the standard Navigator there's this Upper Kit and TH55656, a step bar kit. For the L there's TH55659 (Upper Kit) and TH55658 (step bar kit). Check the registration, window sticker or badge before you buy; the record doesn't describe how the two bodies differ, so don't rely on looks.
The crease
The note mentions a crease along the top and bottom of each piece. The record doesn't describe the profile further; the photos show it. TH55659, the L version, has no crease wording in its record, so if you're comparing the two, use the photos rather than assuming they match.
Material
For a 2015-2017 Navigator that isn't the L version, QAA supplies four creased strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, pressed on under the molding using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Two zones on the standard body
TH55655 covers the band under the molding. TH55656 is noted "Actually ON the retractable step bar." The record treats them as separate kits, and you can order either or both.
Wheel wells and rear parts
WQ55655, a twelve-piece wheel well kit at 1.5", is listed for the 4-door SUV with the same "does not fit the "L" version" restriction. The rear set includes LB55655 ("Just under the rear window"), LP55655 (license plate bezel), BI55655 (a rear bumper "Insert set," four pieces) and SG55655, a "Logo Surround" grille accent. Check each listing for its finish.
Measure the band
Tape a line along the molding's bottom edge and another 5" lower. Stand back and look at the space between. That's the coverage.
Prep
Wash below the molding, rinse well, and dry the seam. A wipe of isopropyl alcohol removes any wax.
Dry fit and press
Hang all four pieces with painter's tape. The creases should run level door to door, and every door should open freely. Then peel a few inches of liner, set, and press along each piece, finishing with a firm pass.
Navigator spacing
Measure the spacing on the first pieces and keep it for the rest so the line looks even from the corners.
Aftercare
Leave the Navigator dry for a day before hand washing with mild soap.
What to have on hand
A tape measure, painter's tape, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths and a marker for the liners.
Before ordering
Check that your Navigator is a 2015-2017 standard body, not the L. If you plan to buy the step bar kit or the wheel wells, it is worth ordering everything at once so you can dry fit the whole side together.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 4 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.
