Measuring the taper
The record doesn't say which end is taller. With a rigid ruler square to the door, read from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door near the front and the rear of all four doors. Readings between 7.5" and 8" agree with the listing. Anything outside that, or one door reading very differently, is worth a call to 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Construction
The eight Camry pieces are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, fixed between molding and door bottom with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Toyota.
Molding condition
The top edge of every piece follows the molding. Press along each one and repair any loose, cracked or missing section first, because the trim can only be as straight as the line above it.
Cleaning
- Wash the Camry's lower doors and rinse well.
- Wax-and-grease remover lifts wax and polish off the Camry.
- Treat chips or rust and let the repair cure.
- Wipe each Camry door with alcohol just as its piece goes on.
Sorting
Positions for the eight pieces aren't listed. Lay them out, use the photos to match each to a door, and write its place on the liner. A tapered piece fitted the wrong way won't follow the door edge, so the dry fit will show any mix-up.
Dry fit
Hold each piece with painter's tape. Check the top against the molding and the bottom against the door edge, open all four doors, and look along the side from both ends.
Bonding
Pull back a short section of liner, press the piece across its full height, and keep going. Finish with firm pressure over the entire piece.
Lining up the later pieces
Measure the gaps on the fitted pieces and keep the rest the same.
Weather
Mild, dry weather in the shade is ideal. Leave the car unwashed for a day.
Aftercare
Next morning, press down any edge that looks raised. Clean the trim with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Tools and time
Painter's tape, a rigid ruler, a marker, clean cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol cover the job. Allow a relaxed afternoon, and check all eight pieces are in the box before starting to clean.
A helper makes holding each piece level much easier.

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.
