Product Description
Toyota Avalon 2001-2004 Upper Kit, 6.25" Down From the Molding, Eight Pieces (TH24124)
At 6.25", TH24124 is the widest steel QAA links to the 2001-2004 Toyota Avalon sedan. It's an eight-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit, and its note sets the reference line at the top: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Measure from the molding
Put the end of a tape measure at the bottom edge of your side molding and look six and a quarter inches down. Everything in that zone should be smooth, sound paint, with no dents, deep chips or holes from old accessories. If the molding is gone or looks unlike the product photos, call 877-752-3811 first.
The narrower Avalon kit
The listing links TH22125, an eight-piece Lower Kit that runs 2" to 3.375" from the bottom of the door up. The two kits use opposite reference edges: TH22125 builds up from the door bottom, TH24124 hangs down from the molding. The data doesn't say whether they're meant to be combined, so ask before ordering both.
Fitment
Toyota Avalon, 4-door sedan, 2001 through 2004.
A note on the part number
This kit's number doesn't follow the same pattern as the other Avalon parts linked to it (PP22125, PP22126, TH22125). The fitment row still reads Avalon 2001-2004, but if you want to be certain, mention it when you call.
Steel and tape
The eight 6.25" Avalon strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the 2001-2004 sedan.
Prep for a tall kit
Over six inches of tape means a lot of surface to get right. Wash, dry and inspect the whole area. On paint this age, polish away oxidation so the tape isn't bonding to a chalky layer, and touch up chips. Wipe everything with isopropyl alcohol, then wait for it to dry completely.
Eight tall pieces
The record doesn't show how the eight pieces are split. Lay them out against the photos and label them before peeling.
Working top-down
Press the top edge of each piece up against the molding with the liner on and check the bottom edge and ends. Open and close the doors to make sure nothing catches. Then peel from the top, pressing downward across the full height so no air is trapped.
Pillar kits
PP22125 (four pieces) and PP22126 (six pieces) are linked pillar post kits for this Avalon; check each listing for its finish.
Get help
A second person holding the far end keeps a long, tall piece from sagging while you set the top edge.
After the job
Wait about a day before washing, rinse salt off in winter, and use only a non-abrasive polish.
Before you call
Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door on your car and have the model year handy.
What it changes
A tall panel of polished steel along the lower sides, starting right under the molding, so the molding and the steel read as one line.

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.
