Product Description
Scion xB 2004-2006 Rocker Strip, 1.5", Four Pieces Below the Doors (TH24180)
TH24180 is a four-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2004-2006 Scion xB hatchback. Filed as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker," it carries one note, "Installs below the door," and a listed width of 1.5".
The xB parts list
The listing links a lot of other xB trim: DH24180 door handle accents (eight pieces), GC24180 gas door cover trim, pillar post kits PP24180 (four) and PP24181 (six), WP24180 window package (12 pieces, upper trim and pillar posts, no sills), RD24180 rear deck accent (1" wide), SG24180 grille accent (10-piece insert package) and SGR24180, a seven-piece "SCION XB" logo decal. That decal's record also carries a "Handicap Symbol" note that doesn't match its name, so check its own listing or call. Check each listing for its finish.
Under the doors
Since the trim installs below the door, it's mounted on the body and stays put when the doors open. Use a painter's tape guide line along the rocker, measured up from the lower edge, to keep the pieces straight.
Fitment
Scion xB, 4-door hatchback, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Four pieces
The record doesn't say how the four xB pieces are arranged. Sort them by length using the photos and label them.
Material
The four Scion xB pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, fixed below the doors over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the hatchback.
Space check
Measure the rocker below each door: you need about an inch and a half of smooth paint. Touch up gravel chips before you start.
Cleaning
Wash, rinse and dry the rockers. Then wipe the contact area two or three times with isopropyl alcohol, getting into the bottom edge.
Placement
With liners on, lay each piece against the guide line and check it from a few steps back. Peel and press a little at a time.
Start and end points
Note where each fitted piece starts and ends using the wheel openings as reference, and keep the rest consistent.
Tools
xB supplies: soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure.
Afterward
Give it about a day before washing and use non-abrasive polish only.
What it does for the xB
A one-and-a-half-inch strip of polished steel below the doors draws a straight bright line along the lower side. Because it's on the rocker, the doors themselves stay as they are.
Ordering more than one part
If you're buying several of the linked xB parts, buy them together and install them in one session. You'll do the washing and alcohol wipe once, and you can check how the pieces line up with each other as you go.
Cold weather
If the xB lives outside, let it warm in a garage for an hour before starting; cold steel and cold paint make the tape slow to grab.
Tip: label every liner before you start.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- 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.
