Product Description
Nissan Sentra Sedan 2000-2006 Upper Rocker Kit, 3.25" Below the Molding, Eight Pieces (TH24575)
TH24575 is the only rocker-panel kit linked to the 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra sedan in QAA's catalog. It's eight pieces of polished stainless steel, 3.25" wide, filed as an Upper Kit, and its note sets the starting point: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Why the molding matters
An Upper Kit takes its line from the side molding, not from the bottom of the door. The top edge of each piece tucks up against the molding's lower edge and the steel hangs three and a quarter inches below it. So the moldings have to be on the car, straight and firmly attached. If yours were removed, replaced with a different style, or look unlike the ones in the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Seven model years
Nissan Sentra, 4-door sedan: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Pillar kits to pair with it
Two other parts are linked: PP24575, a four-piece pillar post kit, and PP24576, a six-piece version. Check each listing for its finish.
Construction
Nissan's 2000-2006 Sentra takes eight 3.25" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried under the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the car.
The eight-piece layout
The listing doesn't explain how eight pieces are spread over a four-door sedan. Before you clean anything, lay the pieces out on a towel, compare them with the photos, and write a position on each liner with painter's tape. If a piece doesn't fit the plan, call before you start.
Measuring the band
Run a tape measure down from the molding at the front and back of each door. Mark three and a quarter inches. Everything between the molding and that mark will be under steel, so dents and chips there need fixing first.
Paint on a Sentra this age
Expect some oxidation and stone chips on the lower doors. Polish dull spots until the paint feels smooth, touch up chips and let them cure, then degrease the whole band with isopropyl alcohol. Clean right up under the molding edge, where dirt collects.
Hanging each piece
Hold a piece with its liner on, top edge against the molding, and check where the ends land relative to the door gaps. Open and close each door. When it's right, peel the liner from the top a few inches at a time and press down and outward.
Keeping the joints in line
Measure each joint from the front wheel opening as pieces go on, and mark the spots for the rest before peeling any more liner.
What you'll need
For the Sentra, gather car soap, polish, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure.
Conditions and care
Work on a warm, dry day and give the tape about a day before washing. After that, rinse road salt off and use a non-abrasive polish only.

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.
