Product Description
Audi A4 1996-2001 Sedan Full Rocker Kit TH96626, 7.125"-7.75" Tapered, 8 Pieces
TH96626 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1996-2001 Audi A4 4-door sedan. The pieces span "from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," and the width tapers from 7.125" to 7.75".
One listing for the A4
The record doesn't link any other rocker kit or accent trim to this A4. It's a single Full Kit covering the whole height between the molding and the door bottom on all four doors.
Fine measurements
The taper is given to the eighth of an inch at the narrow end, 7.125", rising to 7.75". The record doesn't say which end is taller. Use a rigid ruler marked in sixteenths and hold it square to the door. Read from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of the door near the front of each door and again near the rear. Write each reading down by door.
Readings within 7.125" to 7.75" match the listing. If a door reads outside that range, or the front and rear doors give quite different results, call 877-752-3811 with the figures before ordering.
Construction
- High-grade polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge
- USA-built for the A4
- Bonds to the A4's current surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
According to QAA, the tape behind the eight 1996-2001 Audi A4 strips will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the sedan's finish.
Molding
Each piece meets the molding along its top edge. Check that the molding is straight and firmly attached on every door, and repair any section that has lifted or cracked first.
Preparing the doors
A Full Kit puts tape over most of the lower door, so clean the whole area carefully. Wash and rinse, remove wax and polish with a wax-and-grease remover, touch up any chips or rust and let the repair cure, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol immediately before fitting each piece.
Sorting the eight pieces
The record doesn't give positions. Lay the pieces out on a soft surface, compare their shapes with the photos, and label each liner. The taper means a piece fitted backwards won't follow the door edge, which makes mistakes easy to catch at the dry-fit stage.
Dry fit
- Painter's-tape each A4 piece in position.
- Check the top against the molding and the bottom against the door edge.
- Open all four A4 doors and check clearance.
- Step back and look along the side from both ends.
Bonding
Peel a short length of liner, press across the full height of the piece, and continue. Finish with firm hand pressure along both edges and at each end.
Even sides
Measure each A4 joint and keep them all even.
Conditions and aftercare
A mild, dry day in shade suits the tape. Leave the car unwashed for a day, then clean the trim with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Count all eight pieces as soon as the box is opened.

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.
