Product Description
VW Passat 1995-1997 Sedan Lower Rocker Kit TH95677, 2", 8 Pieces
TH95677 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 1995-1997 Volkswagen Passat 4-door sedan. It "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," and that width is 2".
Starting from the bottom
Unlike the other Passat kits, this one doesn't use the molding as its edge. It sits along the bottom of each door and rises 2". The area above it, up to the molding, stays as it is.
Passat kits compared
- TH95677: Lower Kit, 2" up from the door bottom (this kit)
- TH95676: Upper Kit, 6" down from the molding
- TH95675: Full Kit, molding to door bottom, 8" to 8.5" tapered
All three have eight pieces. The record doesn't say whether the Lower and Upper Kits are designed to be combined; call 877-752-3811 before planning that.
Getting the line right
With the molding out of the picture, the door bottom is the guide. Check that each door's bottom edge is straight and undamaged. A dent or a bent lip along the edge will show through a narrow strip, so deal with it first.
What it's made of
On the 1995-1997 Passat, eight 2" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless rise from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the Volkswagen unmarked.
A low, exposed area
The bottom of the door collects road grime, so clean it with care: wash, rinse, use a wax-and-grease remover, let it dry fully, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting. Treat any chips or rust first.
Placement
Positions for the eight pieces aren't given. Use the photos to sort them and mark each liner.
Dry fit
Hold each piece with painter's tape so its lower edge follows the bottom of the door. Open each door and check it swings clear. Then look along from the front and rear for a straight top line.
Bonding
Peel the liner a little at a time and press as you go, then press firmly along the full length.
Weather
Fit on a mild, dry day in shade, and don't wash the car for a day.
Checking the strip on your car
Lay masking tape 2" up from the bottom of one door and look at it from a few paces away and from low down. That's how the polished band will sit. If you'd prefer more coverage, the Upper Kit at 6" and the Full Kit from molding to door bottom are both listed for this sedan.
Tools
A rigid ruler, painter's tape, a marker for the liners, clean cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol are enough. Kneeling pads make work at door-bottom height far more comfortable, and a helper can hold each piece level while you check the line from a distance. Count all eight pieces when the box arrives and call us if one is missing.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
