Product Description
1985-1998 Jeep Cherokee 2-Door Rocker Trim for Models With Molding, 3", 8 Pieces (TH17076)
TH17076 is QAA's two-door Jeep Cherokee Full Kit for SUVs that still carry their body side molding. It's eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 3" wide, listed for 1985 through 1998, and it "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." The width bullet says "With Molding."
Does your Cherokee have molding?
That's the deciding question. This kit is sized to fill the space beneath the molding, about three inches on this listing. QAA also catalogs a "No Molding" two-door kit, much taller, that isn't linked here. Walk around your Cherokee and check. If the molding is missing, damaged or was removed, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Years start at 1985
The fitment row is the Jeep Cherokee 2-door SUV, 1985 to 1998. The no-molding version lists an earlier first year. If yours is right at the start of the range, confirm with Quality Automotive Trims.
Measure the gap
Run a tape measure from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of a door. You're looking for roughly 3". A very different number means this kit may not be the match.
Construction
For the 1985-1998 Cherokee: polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA.
Mounting
The eight Cherokee strips go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 1985-1998 Jeep.
Before taping an older Jeep
Decades of washes leave wax packed under the molding's edge. Clean right up into that corner with isopropyl alcohol on a folded cloth after washing and drying. Check for weak spots: paint that lifts with a fingernail, rust blisters or soft filler should be repaired before any trim goes on.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't describe how they're split along the body. Spread them out, compare with the photos, and number each in order.
Install
Dry-fit a full side with liners on, tops tucked under the molding. Check joints and door clearance. Then peel and press, one piece at a time, across the whole height.
Nothing else linked
The record lists no related parts for this Cherokee, not even the four-door or no-molding versions. For other trim on an older Jeep, ask Quality Automotive Trims directly.
Supplies
Car soap and water, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape for numbering pieces, a tape measure for the molding gap, and ideally a second person.
Cure
About a day before washing. Choose warm, dry weather; a body that's been sitting in the cold takes a while to warm up, so give the Jeep time indoors first.
Care
Rinse salt off in winter; polish occasionally with a non-abrasive product. Keep wax off the top edge where the steel meets the molding, so residue doesn't build up in that seam over time.

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.
