Product Description
Honda CR-V 1997-2001 Upper Rocker Kit TH97235, 4", Between the Wheel Wells, 6 Pieces
For the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V 4-door SUV, TH97235 is a six-piece Upper Kit in polished stainless steel. The bullet reads "4" Width, Includes coverage between the wheel wells only," and the kit spans "from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Coverage, in plain terms
Two limits define this kit. Vertically, it starts at the molding and runs 4" down. Lengthwise, it covers the stretch between the front and rear wheel wells only. It doesn't extend past the wheel wells toward either bumper.
Pillar trim for the same SUV
The record links one more QAA part for this CR-V: PP97235, a four-piece Pillar Post Trim. Nothing beyond its type and piece count is given here, so check its own listing for details.
Seeing the band before you buy
Run masking tape 4" below the molding from one wheel well to the other. Step back to the front corner and then the rear corner. That shows how the strip will sit along the doors and where it stops.
Measuring
Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of each door at the front and rear, so you know how much paint stays visible below the trim. If any door reads less than 4", or the readings vary a lot, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Construction
The six CR-V pieces are cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Honda.
Molding check
The top of each piece sits against the molding, and a 4" strip makes any wave in it plain. Press along the molding between the wheel wells and repair any lifting or cracked section first.
Preparation
- Wash under the CR-V's molding and rinse
- Use wax-and-grease remover on the CR-V to lift wax and polish
- Touch up chips and allow them to cure
- An alcohol wipe on each spot just as its strip goes on
Six pieces
The record doesn't give positions. Sort the pieces using the photos, and write a position on each liner before you start.
Dry fit
- Start nearest the front wheel well and tape each piece up with painter's tape.
- Keep the top edge tight under the molding.
- Open each CR-V door to confirm it clears.
- Look along the side from both wheel wells.
Bonding
Peel a few inches of liner, press that section, and continue. Finish with firm pressure along each piece, especially at the ends near the wheel wells.
CR-V pieces after the first three
Keep the joints even so all six strips line up.
Conditions
A mild, dry, shaded day is best. Wait a day before washing.
Tools
Painter's tape, a rigid ruler, a marker, clean cloths and the two cleaners. Count the six pieces on arrival.
Bring the pieces indoors overnight in cool weather.

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.
