Product Description
Cadillac DeVille 1994-1996 Upper Rocker Kit, Full Length, 10 Pieces Tapering 4.75"-5.5" (TH34245)
TH34245 is the narrow option for the 1994-1996 Cadillac DeVille 4-door sedan. It is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit with a tapered width of 4.75" to 5.5". Its notes read "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Three rocker kits for one DeVille
This sedan has three linked rocker kits, and they differ in two ways: how far down the steel goes and how far along the car it runs.
- TH34245 (this page): Upper Kit, 4.75"-5.5" tapered, ten pieces, front and rear coverage from the wheel well to the bumper.
- TH34246: Full Kit, 8.125"-9.25" tapered, six pieces, molding to the bottom of the door, no front/rear coverage note.
- TH34248: Full Kit, 8.125"-9.25" tapered, ten pieces, molding to the door bottom plus the front and rear coverage note.
So this kit runs the same length as TH34248 but covers a shallower band.
What "Upper" means here
The steel starts under the molding and runs down to its stated width, then stops. With an Upper Kit, painted surface stays visible below the steel. If you want polished steel all the way to the bottom of the door, look at the two Full Kits instead.
The taper
The width changes from 4.75" to 5.5" along the pieces. The record doesn't say which end is wider or where the change happens. Check the photos, and lay each piece against the car with its liner on before committing, so the taper follows the body.

PP34246, a six-piece pillar post kit, and GC34245, a one-piece gas door cover trim, are both tagged for the same sedan. Check each listing for its finish and details.
Material and tape
QAA builds the full-length 1994-1996 DeVille kit from ten tapered pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, set under the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Cadillac.
Ten pieces from bumper to bumper
The record doesn't assign positions. Expect pieces for the area ahead of the front wheel and behind the rear wheel in addition to the doors, given the coverage note, but match every piece to the photos and label it before you peel anything.
Getting the line straight
The bottom edge of an Upper Kit sits against paint, so it shows. A strip of painter's tape run along the car at the right height gives you a guide to follow from front to rear.
Prep
Wash and dry, then wipe the whole band with isopropyl alcohol. On paint this age, look for chips, old touch-up and wax buildup, and deal with them first.
Fitting
Dry-fit, peel a little liner, set the top edge under the molding, and press outward. Keep the remaining pieces consistent with the first. Give it a day before washing, and use mild soap.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 10 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.
