A single listing
No other rocker kit is linked to this Protégé in the record, so there's no Full or Lower Kit to compare it with here. If you were hoping for a different height, call 877-752-3811 and ask.
Where the trim sits
The top edge of each piece meets the bottom of the molding, and the trim runs 5.5" down. Anything below that, down to the bottom of the door, stays painted. The exact amount left showing depends on your car, so measure it.
Measuring
- Hold a rigid ruler square to the door.
- Read from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of the door, near the front and the rear.
- Repeat on all four doors.
- Subtract 5.5" to see the strip of paint that will remain.
If a door reads noticeably shorter than the trim, or one door differs from the others, call before ordering.
Construction
The 1994-1998 Protégé kit is eight 5.5" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Mazda.
The molding sets the line
Because the trim hangs from the molding, a wavy or loose molding shows straight away. Press along it and repair any lifting, cracked or missing section first.
Clean surface, firm bond
- Wash and rinse the area under the molding
- Remove wax and polish from the Protégé with a wax-and-grease remover
- Touch up any chips and let them cure
- Wipe the Protégé with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting
Sorting the set
The record doesn't list positions for the eight pieces. Lay them out on a clean blanket, use the photos to match each to a door, and write the position on the liner with a marker.
Dry fit
Hold each piece up with painter's tape, top edge tight under the molding. Open all four doors and check they clear. Step back and sight along the side from both ends to make sure the lower edge runs parallel to the molding.
Bonding
Peel back a few inches of liner, press that section down, and continue along the piece. Finish with firm pressure from end to end, paying attention to the corners.
Protégé gap spacing
Measure the gaps between the first pieces and keep the rest the same so the car looks even from front and rear.
Weather and aftercare
Choose a mild, dry day in the shade. Wait a day before washing, and press down any edge that looks raised the next morning. A soft cloth and a mild cleaner keep the polish bright.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
