Product Description
Cadillac DeVille 1989-1990 Upper Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces, 7" Below the Molding (TH29245)
TH29245 is a twelve-piece polished stainless steel Upper Kit for the 1989-1990 Cadillac DeVille sedan. The record lists a 7" width and the note "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." That gives the install a clear starting point: the lower edge of the side molding. From there the steel drops seven inches down the side of the car.
Reading "Upper Kit"
Upper means the kit is referenced from the top, at the molding, rather than from the bottom of the door. Every piece hangs from that line. Before buying, measure on your own car from the bottom of the molding straight down seven inches and see where that lands. If it runs past the door bottom or into an area you don't want covered, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Fitment
Cadillac DeVille, 4-door sedan, 1989 and 1990. Two model years only, and no other bodies are listed.
Twelve pieces, no map
The listing doesn't say where each of the twelve pieces goes. Unpack them on a blanket, group them by shape and length, and hold each against the car to find its spot, using the product photos as the reference. Mark each liner with its position on a strip of painter's tape. Nothing else is linked to this listing; ask us about other trim for this car when you call.
What's in the steel
QAA forms the twelve 7" DeVille pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. They mount below the molding with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Paint that has seen some years
Check the lower panels of a 1989 or 1990 DeVille for old wax, dressing and touch-up. Strip that off: wash, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol several times, changing cloths often. Check for chips, soft spots or lifting clear coat along the area the steel will cover. Tape can only hold as well as the paint under it holds to the panel, so deal with flaking areas before you start.
Check the molding itself
Since the molding is the reference line, it needs to be secure and straight. Press along its length; if a section is loose or warped, fix that first or the trim will follow the error.
Hanging the pieces
Butt the top edge of each piece to the underside of the molding with the liner on and check the bottom edge from a step back. Peel a short section, press, and continue, keeping the top tight to the molding the whole way. Open and close each door after its pieces are on to confirm the edges don't catch.
DeVille measurements
Finish one run completely, then measure the gaps between pieces and keep the rest consistent.
Time and weather
Twelve pieces is an afternoon job. Pick a dry, mild day and leave washing for about a day.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
