Product Description
Jeep Cherokee 4-Door 1985-2000 Full Kit Under the Molding, 3", Eight Pieces (TH17081)
TH17081 fills the space between the side molding and the bottom of the doors on a four-door Jeep Cherokee, model years 1985 through 2000. It's eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 3" wide, with the notes "With Molding" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
For Cherokees that kept their molding
The kit uses the molding as its upper reference. If your four-door's molding is intact, this is the listing to look at. If it's been removed or never fitted, QAA catalogs a taller no-molding kit separately; it isn't linked here, so ask about it at 877-752-3811.
Measure first
On one door, measure from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of the door. About three inches is what this kit expects. Check a rear door too. If the numbers are far off, call before ordering.
Years and body
Jeep Cherokee, 4-door SUV, 1985 through 2000. The no-molding version starts a year earlier; if your Cherokee is from the very start of the range, confirm by phone. The two-door has its own listings.
Material
Every Cherokee piece is made in the USA from polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge.
How it's held
The eight 3" Cherokee pieces go directly over the existing surface on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the paint of the Jeep.
The corner under the molding
That inside corner collects decades of wax and grime. After washing and drying, fold a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol over a fingertip and run it along the molding's lower edge on every door. The top of each piece will tuck there, so it's the most important strip of paint to get clean.
Sound surface
Press a fingernail into any suspect paint along the lower doors. If it lifts, or if you see rust blisters, repair the area and let it cure before installing.
Eight-piece layout
The record doesn't describe how the pieces are divided. Match them to the photos and number them. Dry-fit one full side, liners on, with every top edge seated under the molding and every door opening cleanly.
Install
Peel and press one piece at a time, working across the full three inches with firm pressure.
Supplies
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure. A second person can hold a piece while you check how it meets the molding.
Afterward
About a day before washing; do the job in warm, dry weather, and give the Jeep time to warm up in a garage if it's been out in the cold.
Care
Rinse salt off the lower doors in winter, wash with a mild soap, and polish the steel with a non-abrasive product.
No linked parts
The listing has no related parts attached, including the no-molding version. For other Cherokee trim, call Quality Automotive Trims.

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.
