Product Description
TH96628 Audi Cabriolet 1994-1998 Upper Rocker Kit, 4.75"-6" Tapered, 6 Pieces
TH96628 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 1994-1998 Audi Cabriolet 2-door convertible. The pieces span "from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width," with a taper from 4.75" to 6".
A wide taper
The height changes by more than an inch, from 4.75" at one end to 6" at the other. The record doesn't say which end is which. When you hold the pieces up, the photos and the shape of each piece will show the right orientation. If anything is unclear, call 877-752-3811 before bonding.
The only Cabriolet listing
No other kit is linked to this convertible in the record. It's an Upper Kit, so its top edge meets the molding and the band stops at its listed width, leaving the paint below it showing.
Checking the look
Before ordering, run masking tape below the molding, starting at about 4.75" deep at one end and widening to about 6" at the other. Step back and view it from the front and rear corners. Then try it the other way round. That gives a fair picture of the finished line.
Measuring
Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door at the front and rear of each door, so you know how much paint will remain beneath the trim. Share the readings on 877-752-3811 if you have any doubt.
Material and mounting
Audi's 1994-1998 Cabriolet takes six tapered strips cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the convertible.
Molding first
Every piece hangs from the molding, so check it's straight and secure along its length. Fix any loose or damaged section before you start.
Preparation
- Wash and rinse beneath the molding
- Wipe with a wax-and-grease remover
- Touch up chips and let them cure
- Finish with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting
Six pieces
The record doesn't list positions. Sort the pieces using the photos, and mark each liner with its position.
Dry fit
Hold each piece with painter's tape, top edge snug under the molding. Open both doors and check they clear. Look along the car for a smooth, even taper.
Bonding
Peel the liner a few inches at a time, press each section, and finish with firm pressure along the full piece.
Cabriolet pieces after the doors
Repeat the first Cabriolet run so each taper matches.
Conditions
Choose a mild, dry day out of direct sun, and hold off washing for a day.
Tools
A rigid ruler, painter's tape, a marker, clean lint-free cloths and the two cleaners are all you need. With the top down there's more room to work around the doors, but keep the interior clear of cleaner overspray. Count the six pieces on arrival.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
