Product Description
1995-2005 Eldorado Full-Length Rocker Trim, Ten Stainless Pieces, 7.375"-8" Tapered (TH35231)
TH35231 is the full-length kit for the 1995-2005 Cadillac Eldorado 2-door coupe: ten pieces of polished stainless steel, tapering from 7.375" to 8", cataloged as a Full Kit. The width bullet reads "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear," and the span note is "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Bumper to bumper
"Full Length" plus the coverage note means this kit carries the steel past the doors and the panels between the wheels, out to the bumpers at the front and the rear wheel wells. The linked six-piece TH35230 is the same height and taper but "does not extend past wheel wells." So the four further pieces here are where the difference lies, though the record doesn't say exactly which pieces those are.
One small catalog detail
The "What's included" line on this record repeats "Full Length" but leaves out the coverage note that the width bullet carries. We read the two together; if you want to confirm the end sections before ordering, the photos show them, or call 877-752-3811.
Planning the order of work
- Install the long center pieces first; they set the height line.
- Fit the front sections to meet them.
- Fit the rear sections last.
- Keep the Eldorado positions consistent using your measurements.
The end sections
The areas near the bumpers and wheel openings take the most stone chips. Look closely at them before ordering and repair any damage, because the end pieces need the same sound paint as the doors.
Taper
7.375" at one end, 8" at the other. The record doesn't say which is which. Dry-fit with the liner on.
Material and tape
Built for the 1995-2005 Eldorado coupe, the ten full-length pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop, carried on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape under the molding. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Cadillac.
Years
1995-2005, one row, 2-door coupe. No changes are noted across those years.
Cleaning
Wash, dry, and wipe the full band, end to end, with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean.
Labeling
Ten pieces with no position list: sort with the photos and mark every liner.
Fitting each piece
With the liner still on, hold the piece against the car and check that its top edge meets the molding and its bottom edge meets the door or panel bottom. Then peel a few inches, press, and pull the liner gradually while smoothing toward the far end. A helper keeps the longer center pieces off the paint until you're ready.
Molding first
Press along the molding from bumper to bumper. Any loose section should be reattached before cleaning, since the steel's top edge follows it.
Conditions
A dry, mild day with the car in the shade, so the steel and paint are both at a moderate temperature.
Care
The Eldorado waits a day to be washed; mild soap and soft cloths after.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
