Product Description
Corolla 2003-2008 Upper Rocker Kit, 4.875" Down From the Molding, Eight Pieces (TH24112)
TH24112 is the tall option for the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla sedan. It's an eight-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit, 4.875" wide, and it works from the top down: "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Starting at the molding
Upper Kits use the bottom of the side molding as their reference line, not the bottom of the door. That means your Corolla needs those moldings in place. If yours were removed or look different from the photos, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Upper vs. Lower on this Corolla
The linked TH24113 is the Lower Kit: four pieces, 2.5" wide, with a trim crease, "On the doors only," from the bottom of the door up. TH24112 has twice the pieces and almost twice the width, and it starts from the molding. The record doesn't say how its eight pieces divide, so check the photos.
Years and body
Toyota Corolla, 4-door sedan, 2003 through 2008.
Nearly five inches of contact
Check the full 4.875" below each molding for dents, chips and old trim holes. A tall piece shows every ripple underneath it.
The steel and the tape
The eight 2003-2008 Corolla pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed below the molding over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damage.
Paint ready
Wash, then polish any chalky or dull areas below the moldings. Repair chips and let them cure. Wipe the whole area with isopropyl alcohol, including just under the molding's lower edge where dirt builds up.
Hanging the pieces
Butt the top edge of each piece against the bottom of the molding with the liner on, and check the bottom edge and ends. Open and close the doors to confirm clearance. Then peel and press from the top edge downward.
The full Corolla list
This sedan has many linked parts: GC24112 gas door cover trim (with crease contour), LB24112 license bar, LP24112 license plate bezel, RD24112 deck trim (2" wide), WQ24112 wheel well accents, WS24112 window sills, pillar post kits PP24112, PP24113 and PP24114, and window packages WP24112 and WP24113. Check each listing for its finish.
An even line
Measure each Corolla joint against the wheel openings and keep the readings consistent.
Supplies
Soap, polish, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, and a helper to hold the far end of each tall piece.
Why the top edge matters
Since the kit hangs from the molding, the top edge is what people see first. Any gap between molding and steel stands out more than a small variation at the bottom. Take time on that seam: get it tight along the full length before pressing the rest of the piece.
When you call, have the model year and the molding-to-door-bottom measurement ready.
Conditions and care
Choose a warm, dry day and wait about a day before washing. Rinse off salt and use 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.
