Product Description
Jaguar XJ 2004-2009 Rocker Strip, 4" Wide, Four Pieces Below the Doors (TH24095)
TH24095 is a four-piece polished stainless steel kit for the Jaguar XJ sedan, 2004 through 2009, with fitment tags XJ8 and X350. QAA files it as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker," and the single placement note is clear: "Installs below the door." Each piece is listed at 4" wide.
Four inches on the rocker
That width is the defining number here. The kit sits on the body below the doors rather than on the door skins, so it stays put when the doors swing open. Before you order, hold a tape measure against the rocker area under each door and check that you have four inches of smooth, uninterrupted surface. If anything there looks different from the product photos, call 877-752-3811.
Which XJ
Jaguar XJ, 4-door sedan, 2004 to 2009, tagged XJ8 and X350. A separate linked kit, TH24097, is tagged "L Model" and notes "Only fits XJ8 L limited edition," so if your car is an L, read that listing and call before choosing.
The other XJ kits
- TH24096: eight-piece Lower Kit, 2.875", with trim crease, from the bottom of the door up.
- TH24097: eight-piece Lower Kit, 2.875", for the XJ8 L limited edition only.
- PP24094 and PP24095: four- and six-piece pillar post kits for the same XJ8 / X350 sedan.
Check each listing for its finish. TH24096 goes on the doors while this kit goes under them; call if you're thinking of using both.
XJ layout
The record doesn't say how the four XJ pieces are arranged. Sort them against the photos and label them before you peel any liner.
Specification
The Jaguar XJ8 pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, fixed below the doors over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Rocker prep on a sedan of this age
The rocker catches spray and gravel from the front wheels, so it's usually the dirtiest painted surface on the car. Wash it well, look for chips, rust bubbles or flaking clearcoat, and repair anything you find. Finish with an isopropyl alcohol wipe across the full four inches and let it dry.
Setting the line
Without a door edge to rest against, use a strip of painter's tape as a guide line along the rocker, measured from the bottom edge at both ends of each door opening. Line each piece up to the tape, check it from a few steps back, then peel and press a little at a time.
Matching the sides
Measure the joint positions from the wheel openings as you go and keep them exact.
Conditions and care
A warm, dry day suits the tape, and the car should go about a day before its first wash. After that, rinse road salt off the rockers, dry the steel, and use only a non-abrasive polish.

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.
