Product Description
Town & Country, Grand Caravan & Routan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ48896, Cut to Fit with TH48896, 4 Pieces
WQ48896 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim cut to work with a specific rocker kit. Its note reads "Cut to fit with Rocker kit TH48896 sold separately", and the listing describes it as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". It fits the Chrysler Town & Country 2008-2016, the Dodge Grand Caravan 2008-2020 and the Volkswagen Routan 2009-2012, all 4-door minivans. No width is listed.
Made to meet TH48896
The note names the kit: TH48896, an eight-piece lower kit at 5.5" spanning from the bottom of the door up. TH48896 is itself noted "Full Length", and its fitment also lists an Eagle Coach version. Order TH48896 with this set if you don't already have it.
The other options
WQ48895 is the Full Length wheel well set for the same vans, listed without the cut. TH48895 is a second 5.5" lower kit, noted "Cut back to flare"; the record doesn't say whether it works with this cut set, so ask 877-752-3811 before choosing TH48895 instead of TH48896.
Your van and year
Town & Country runs 2008-2016, Grand Caravan 2008-2020 and Routan 2009-2012 on the fitment line, and the title gives the same three ranges.
Material
The minivan kit is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel produced in the USA, applied on top of the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Town & Country, Grand Caravan or Routan.
Rocker kit first
Fit TH48896 before any arch piece. Each cut end can then be checked against the rocker panel it's designed to meet.
Arch work
With TH48896 on, clean each opening: wash, rinse, towel, drain. Check the trim band, especially beside the new rocker trim, for any residue or wax, and clear it with wax-and-grease remover. Isopropyl alcohol goes on just before each piece. Offer each up on its liner with painter's tape at the ends, confirm the gasket follows the opening and the cut end meets TH48896 as shown in the photos, then bond from the far end toward the rocker trim, pressing as the liner comes away.

A mirror cover set and window packages WP48895 (16 pieces) and WP48896 (8 pieces, upper trim only).
Care
Four pieces should be in the minivan kit. After fitting, wait a day to wash, then use mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping pressure-washer spray off the gasket. Questions: 877-752-3811.
Before ordering
Check your van's model and year, then make sure TH48896 is either already fitted or in the same order. If you would rather not fit a rocker kit, WQ48895 is the set to look at. When the parcel arrives, count four pieces, check each cut end and gasket edge, and keep the liners on until each piece has been held against the fitted TH48896. Don't trim the stainless; if a cut end doesn't meet the rocker trim as the photos show, phone 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
