Product Description
Cadillac DeVille/DTS 41" Stretch Limousine Lower Rocker Trim, 10 Pieces, 4.5" (TH40238)
TH40238 fits a Cadillac limousine with a 41" stretch, listed for the DeVille (2000-2005) or the DTS (2006-2011). Both nameplates are carried by the title and by the fitment row. It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, a 4.5" Lower Kit that starts at the door bottom.
Door kit plus rocker kit
One companion is linked: TH40255, a six-piece "On the rocker" kit, 2.25" wide, noted "41" extension; Installs below the door." This kit goes on the doors; that one goes beneath them. The record doesn't say the two are designed as a pair, so if you want both, call 877-752-3811 first.
Two 41" figures
The tag says "41" Stretch" and the width line says "41" Between the wheel wells." The record doesn't explain how the second figure is measured. Check the stretch on your coachbuilder's paperwork; if your own measurements don't line up, call before ordering.
Ten pieces
No layout in the data. Use the product photos to match pieces to panels along the limo, and label the liners.
Height
Four and a half inches above the door bottom. That's the line to mark with painter's tape at each panel joint.
Material
For the 41" stretch DeVille and DTS limousine, ten 4.5" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel rise from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the limo.
Clean and inspect
Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the lower body. Repair chips or corrosion on door bottoms before installing.
Installing
- Mark the top line at every joint and check it from both ends.
- Align each piece, peel a few inches of liner, set it.
- Press on as the liner frees.
- Firm pressure over the face.
If fitting the rocker kit too
Install the door pieces first, then check door swing before fitting anything below the doors.
Door swing
Open each door fully after its piece goes on.
Helper
On a stretched car, a second person sighting the line from the bumper helps.
Care
Wash after a day.
What to send when you call
Nameplate and year, the stretch on the builder's paperwork, your measurement between the wheel openings, and a full-side photo. If you're considering the rocker kit as well, mention that so we can confirm both.
Bottom-edge inspection
Walk the length of the car and check each door bottom. A Lower Kit sits right on that edge, so chips and corrosion there need repair and cure before installing.
Supplies
A long tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and lint-free towels. Work on a dry, mild day in the shade.
Spacing along the 41" stretch
Keep each piece's distance from the panel joints consistent along the limo.
Why the rocker kit is separate
The door kit and the below-the-door kit are listed under different SKUs, and the record doesn't combine them. Ordering one doesn't require the other; choose by the look you want and confirm with us if you're ordering both.
Limo owners with the 41" kit TH40238 (UPC 691821266746) can call 877-752-3811.

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.
