Product Description
Eagle Hearse on the 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille: Full Length Lower Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces, 4.25" (TH40249)
TH40249 is the record in the DeVille group that names the Eagle hearse. The fitment row reads "Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 | Eagle Hearse," and the kit is twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, 4.25" wide, filed as a Lower Kit. Two notes describe where it goes: "Full Length, Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear," and "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Why the coachbuilder matters here
Three hearse records sit near each other in this catalog, and each names a different builder. This one says Eagle. If your car came from another builder, or you aren't sure, don't assume a fit. Check the conversion paperwork or the builder's plate, then call 877-752-3811 with what you find before you order.
A quarter inch narrower than its neighbors
Most of the Lower Kits linked to this record are listed at 4.5". This one is 4.25". The data gives no reason for the difference, so treat 4.25" as the figure for this SKU and measure your own doors. A strip of painter's tape at that height, run along a door bottom, shows you the band the steel will occupy.

- TH40246: twelve pieces, 4.5", the four-door sedan, with the same full-length note.

Check each listing's own details before pairing it.
What the full-length note means for you
Per the record, coverage runs past the doors, from the wheel well to the bumper at the front and at the rear. That puts steel on the fender and quarter areas as well as the doors. Look over those lower areas now, because chips or loose paint there will sit right under the trim.
The steel and the tape
The twelve full-length pieces for the DeVille Eagle Hearse are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, produced in the USA, and bond over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the coach.
Laying out twelve pieces
The record doesn't say how the twelve pieces are laid out. Use the product photos and write a position on each liner with a marker before anything gets peeled.
Putting it on
- Wash the lower body, dry it, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
- Hold each piece in place with painter's tape to check the fit.
- Start at one end, peel a few inches of liner, and set the bottom edge on the door bottom.
- Work along the piece, pulling liner as you go, and finish with firm hand pressure.
After the last piece
Open and close every door to confirm nothing rubs. Sight along the car from a front corner. Give the tape a day before the first wash.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
