Product Description
Nissan Armada 2004-2016 Upper Kit Cut to the Flares, 5.5", Four Pieces (TH24523)
TH24523 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 2004-2016 Nissan Armada. It's 5.5" wide and has two notes: "Cut to flares" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
What "cut to flares" tells you
The note says the kit is cut to the flares, which points to pieces shaped where they meet them. The record doesn't show the exact shape. Check the product photos, and look at your Armada's flares and lower sides. If yours look different from the photos, for example after body work or with aftermarket flares, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
The molding is the starting line
Upper Kits hang from the bottom of the side molding, so the moldings need to be in place and straight.
Fitment
Nissan Armada, 4-door SUV, 2004 through 2016.
Linked Armada parts
The listing links two: PP24524, a six-piece pillar post kit, and WS24523, a four-piece window sill set. Check each listing for its finish.
Material
For the Armada, four 5.5" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, cut to the flares, are pressed on under the molding using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Four pieces
The data doesn't describe the layout. Use the photos and the shaped ends to match each piece to its spot; label the liners before you begin.
Measuring
From the bottom of the molding, measure five and a half inches down at several points along each door. Check that the band is smooth and that the shaped ends will meet the flares cleanly.
Getting the surface ready
Wash, clay, and repair chips. Clean along the edges of the flares carefully; grit builds up there. Wipe the full area with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry.
Placing shaped pieces
With the liner on, set the top edge against the molding and slide the piece until its cut end lines up with the flare. Open the doors to check clearance. Only then peel from the top and press downward.
Checking the flare gap
Compare the gap between steel and flare on each fitted piece before you commit to the next.
Supplies
Gather soap, a clay bar, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure, and line up a second person to help on the Armada.
Afterward
Wait about a day before washing. Rinse salt off the lower sides and use only non-abrasive polish.
Thirteen model years
The fitment covers 2004 through 2016, a long run. If your Armada has had body panels or flares replaced over those years, mention that when you call.
What it changes
A five-and-a-half-inch panel of polished steel runs along the lower sides between the flares, starting right under the molding.
Cold-weather note
A big SUV parked outside can stay cold for hours. Bring it into a garage or wait for a mild afternoon so the lower panels are at room temperature when the tape goes on.

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.
