Product Description
DeVille 1997-1999 Ten-Piece Upper Rocker Kit, Full Length, 7.5"-8.625" Tapered (TH37248)
TH37248 is the tallest full-length kit linked to the 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille 4-door sedan. It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, cataloged as an Upper Kit, tapering from 7.5" to 8.625". Notes: "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."
Upper Kit at full-kit height
The width here matches the six-piece TH37246, which is a Full Kit reaching the bottom of the door. This kit is called an Upper Kit, meaning the steel runs down from the molding to its stated width. The record doesn't say whether, on a DeVille, that width effectively reaches the door bottom or leaves a strip of paint. Measure your car: if your molding-to-bottom distance is within 7.5"-8.625", ask whether the two descriptions amount to the same coverage on the doors. If it's more, paint will show below. When in doubt, call 877-752-3811.
Length
Full length, from each wheel well to the bumper at the front and rear, plus the doors. The slimmer TH37245 covers the same length at 4.5"-5".
Other linked parts
GC37245 (one-piece gas door cover trim) and PP37246 (six-piece pillar post kit). Check their listings for finish.
Material
This full-length DeVille set is ten wider strips, 7.5" to 8.625", of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, set below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the 1997-1999 sedan.
Sorting
Ten pieces, no position list. Use the photos, separate door pieces from end sections, and label every liner.
Prep for a big job
Inspect the entire lower side, including the areas near the wheel openings, for chips and dents. Repair, then wash, dry, and alcohol-wipe the full length. Secure the molding.
Order of work
Doors first, then the front sections, then the rear. Dry-fit each, peel gradually, press outward. A helper for the tall pieces.
Care
Hold off washing the DeVille for a day.
Choosing among the three
Want the whole length at a slim height? TH37245. Want the doors only at full height? TH37246. Want full length at the tall height? This kit. Decide on length first, then height, and measure before you order.
Taper direction
The record doesn't say which end of each piece is taller. A dry fit with the liner on settles it.
End-section spacing
Check each end section against its wheel opening with a tape, so the DeVille reads evenly from either curb.
Gather
A tape measure, painter's tape and a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, clean cloths, a plastic tool, and a helper. Dry, mild weather and lasting shade.
After that: mild soap and a soft towel for the DeVille.
If any piece doesn't match a door or end section during the dry run, leave its liner on and call with the SKU below.

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.
