Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 1998-2001 Full Rocker Kit TH99281, 7.5"-8" Tapered, 8 Pieces
TH99281 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1998-2001 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. The pieces span "from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," with the width tapering from 7.5" to 8".
Sedan, not coupe
This listing is for the sedan only. The record links a separate rocker trim for the 2-door coupe, TH99251, a four-piece strip listed "On the rocker" that "Installs below the door" at 3.5". The two mount in different places: this kit covers the lower doors from the molding down, and the coupe strip sits on the rocker beneath the door.

Taking the measurements
The record doesn't say which end of the taper is taller. Place a rigid ruler square to the door and read from the lower edge of the molding to the bottom of the door, near the front and the rear, on all four doors. Write each down. Readings between 7.5" and 8" agree with the listing. If one door is outside that, or noticeably different from the others, call 877-752-3811 first.
Material
The eight tapered 1998-2001 Accord pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, set between molding and door bottom with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Honda sedan.
Molding
Each piece meets the molding along its top edge. Repair any section that is lifting, cracked or missing before fitting.
Preparing the paint
At this height the tape covers most of the lower door. Wash and rinse it, remove wax and polish with a wax-and-grease remover, touch up chips or rust and let the repair cure, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before each piece goes on.
Laying out the set
Positions aren't listed in the record. Arrange the eight pieces, compare with the photos, and label each liner. The taper helps you tell front from rear: a piece fitted backwards won't follow the door edge.
Trial run
- Tape each piece in place with painter's tape.
- Check the top edge against the molding and the bottom against the door.
- Open all four doors.
- Sight along the Accord rocker from both ends.
Bonding
Peel a short section of liner, press it across the full height, and work along. Finish with firm pressure on every edge.
Conditions
Pick a mild, dry day and a shady spot. After fitting, skip washing for a day, then clean the trim with mild soap and a soft cloth.
Helper
A second person can hold each tall piece level while you check the line from a few paces back. Count the eight pieces when the box arrives.

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.
