Product Description
Full Length Lower Rocker Kit for the 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade SUV, 10 Pieces, 4.125"-4.375" Tapered (TH42256)
TH42256 takes the Escalade's lower trim from wheel well to bumper. The record lists it for the 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade four-door SUV: ten polished stainless steel pieces, a tapered width of 4.125" to 4.375", and the note "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear." The steel "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Ten pieces versus six
Its shorter linked sibling, TH42255, has six pieces and the note "Includes coverage between the wheel wells only." Same SUV, same taper. If you want the areas ahead of the front wheels and behind the rear wheels covered too, this is the record that says so.
Not the EXT kit
TH42258, also linked, is a full-length twelve-piece kit tagged EXT with a 4.2" to 4.4" taper. This record is tagged SUV. For an EXT or ESV, check that record or call 877-752-3811.
Full length means more prep
With coverage reaching both bumpers, the panels in front of and behind the wheel openings matter as much as the doors. Look them over for chips, scrapes and loose paint, and repair anything in the band before installing.
Tapered width
The band varies from four and an eighth to four and three-eighths inches. Which end is taller isn't stated. The product photos are the guide; check each piece's orientation during the dry-fit.
Linked accessories
The sheet also lists PP42255 (pillar posts), DH42255 (door handle covers), HT42255 (hood accent), RT42255 (tailgate accent "With handle cut out"), RW42255 (rear window trim) and SGB42255 (grille accent). Check each listing for its finish.
Material
The ten full-length 2002-2006 Escalade pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from the USA, fitted over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Ten pieces in order
No layout is in the data. Lay out the pieces from front bumper to rear bumper using the photos and number the liners.
Clean
Wash, rinse, dry, then isopropyl alcohol from bumper to bumper along the band.
Fit and press
Dry-fit everything with painter's tape. Then work one piece at a time: peel a few inches of liner, set the bottom edge, press along. Finish with firm pressure.
Afterward
Open each door, look over the line, and wait a day to wash.
Before ordering
Confirm your Escalade is the SUV, not the EXT or ESV, and that its year is within 2002-2006. Then decide whether full-length coverage is what you want, or whether the six-piece between-the-wheels kit is enough. A side photo sent to 877-752-3811 settles any doubt.
A helper
With ten pieces running bumper to bumper, a second person holding each piece's far end off the paint keeps the tape clean and the line straight.
Matching the sides
Use the wheel openings and door gaps as reference points for each piece.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
