Product Description
Jeep Cherokee 4-Door 1984-2000 Lower Body Trim, No Molding, 5.5" Tall, 8 Pieces (TH17080)
For a four-door Jeep Cherokee without body side molding, QAA lists TH17080: eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 5.5" wide, covering model years 1984 through 2000. The width bullet reads "5.5" Width, No Molding," and the part type is Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit.
A wide band for a smooth-sided Cherokee
Five and a half inches is a substantial panel of steel along the lower doors and body. It's the no-molding option, sized for a Cherokee whose lower sides have no molding strip to work around. If your four-door has molding, QAA catalogs a separate, narrower "With Molding" kit for it; that kit isn't linked to this listing, so call 877-752-3811 for it.
About the placement note
The record also says the kit "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." That's the wording from QAA's molded kits, and it doesn't fit neatly with "No Molding." The data doesn't clarify where the top edge sits on a Cherokee without molding. Check the photos and call Quality Automotive Trims to confirm before you buy.
Seventeen model years
The fitment row runs from 1984 through 2000 for the 4-door Cherokee SUV. The two-door body is cataloged separately with its own year range.
Specs
- Full Kit of eight pieces for the Cherokee
- 5.5" width, No Molding
- Cherokee steel: USA-made, polished 304, 26 gauge, high grade
- Fixed on the Cherokee's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
For a Cherokee without molding, QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the Jeep's lower doors.
Assessing an older body
Before ordering, look over the lower doors and body closely. Tape needs sound paint. Oxidized or chalky paint should be polished back to a firm surface; flaking paint, bubbling or cracked filler must be repaired first, because the trim is only as secure as the layer beneath it. Old holes from removed trim can be filled and painted beforehand.
Cleaning
Wash, rinse and dry, then degrease the whole area with isopropyl alcohol, from the door bottoms up past the 5.5" line.
Layout
The record doesn't say how the eight pieces divide between the doors and body. Arrange them against the photos, number them, and dry-fit a full side with liners on. Open and close all four doors to check every joint.
Pressing
Peel one liner at a time, a few inches at once, pressing across the full height. Go back over each piece when the side is done.
Tools and help
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape for numbering, and a tape measure. A helper makes the tall pieces much easier to place.
Timing
Warm, dry weather; about a day before the first wash. Eight tall pieces take time, so start early.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
