Product Description
46" Stretch Cadillac Limousine (DeVille 2000-2005, DTS 2006-2011): Lower Rocker Kit 4.5", 10 Pieces (TH40239)
TH40239 is tagged "Limousine, 46" Stretch," on a Cadillac DeVille from 2000-2005 or a DTS from 2006-2011. Its title names both, so DeVille owners can see the row lists them too. The kit is ten pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit 4.5" tall measured from the door bottom.
Check the stretch, then the measurement
Two "46" figures appear: the stretch in the tag, and "46" Between the wheel wells" on the width line. The record doesn't explain how that second figure is measured or why it equals the stretch. Confirm the stretch from the coachbuilder's paperwork. If your own measurement between the wheel openings tells a different story, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Linked below-the-door kit
TH40256 is a six-piece "On the rocker" kit, 2.25" wide, with the note "46" extension; Installs below the door." It mounts beneath the doors; this kit mounts on them. Whether they're intended to be used together isn't stated, so ask if you plan to order both.
The steel
The ten pieces for the 46" stretch DeVille and DTS limousine are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, attached over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the limousine.
Mapping ten pieces
The record doesn't assign positions. On a stretched car, panel breaks don't follow a sedan's pattern, so take time with the product photos. Lay the pieces beside the car in order and hold each to its panel before peeling.
Line and height
The steel rises four and a half inches from the bottom of each door. Mark that height at every joint with a bit of painter's tape, then sight from both bumpers. Adjust until the marks run straight.
Lower edges
Inspect each door bottom for chips or corrosion and repair before installing.
Clean
Wash the entire lower body, dry it, and wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol.
Install order
- Begin at the front door.
- Align with your marks and the door bottom.
- Peel some liner back and fix the limo piece's end.
- Keep pressing while the liner peels off.
- Firm pressure over the face, then move to the next piece.
With the rocker kit
If you fit TH40256, finish the door pieces first, check door swing, then work below.
Door swing
Open each door after its piece is on and watch the lower edge.
What to send when you call
Nameplate, year, stretch figure, your wheel-opening measurement and a photo of the whole car.
Supplies
Long tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and towels; a dry, mild day and ideally a helper.
Care
The limo needs a day before its first wash.
Spacing along the 46" stretch
Take each finished piece's distance from the panel joints, hold the later pieces to it, then sight along the car to compare.

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.
