Will the QAA kit fit my 1997 Grand Marquis?

Yes. QAA lists TH32481 for the 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis 4-door sedan, including LS and GS. It is pre-formed for that body.

Does the QAA trim need drilling?

No. Each piece has pre-applied 3M acrylic foam tape. You peel and stick after cleaning the rocker surface.

Is the narrow rocker molding a substitute for the QAA kit?

No. It is a single narrow molding listed for 1952-1959 models, not a 12-piece kit for a 1990s Grand Marquis.

The QAA kit is polished stainless steel with a taped bond, so it resists rust and holds up well if installed on a clean surface. Product A's material is not stated, so its durability can't be compared.

Is the QAA kit worth the extra?

There is no price for either part here, so check both listings. The QAA kit covers the full rocker length in stainless steel; Product A is one narrow piece.

Can I install the QAA trim over rust?

No. Tape needs a solid, clean surface. Treat or repair rusted rocker panels first, or the trim will lift.

Rocker molding narrow 1952-1959 vs Stainless Rocker Panel Trim 12Pc Fits 1992-97 Mercury Grand Marquis TH32481 QAA

These are not interchangeable parts. Product A is a single narrow rocker molding listed for 1952-1959 models, and Product B is a 12-piece stainless trim kit made for the 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. Buy B if you own a 1992-1997 Grand Marquis and want a polished stainless lower trim kit that installs with 3M tape and no drilling. Buy A only if you are restoring a 1952-1959 car and need one narrow molding piece. No current prices were provided for either part, so compare store prices on each listing before ordering.
