Product Description
Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 / DTS 2006-2011 Limousine, 99 5/8" Stretch: Lower Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces, 4.5" (TH40237)
TH40237 is for a long limousine: a Cadillac DeVille (2000-2005) or DTS (2006-2011) with a 99 5/8" stretch. The title names both nameplates and their years, as the fitment row does. It's twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit 4.5" tall, rising "from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
The two figures in the record
The tag reads "Limousine, 99 5/8" Stretch," and the width line says "99.625" Between the wheel wells." Those are the same number written two ways. The record doesn't explain whether the between-the-wheel-wells figure is the stretch itself or a separate measurement that happens to match. Before ordering, check your coachbuilder's paperwork for the stretch figure and call 877-752-3811 if it differs, or if your measurement between the wheel openings comes out differently.
DeVille or DTS
Both are on the fitment row, so either nameplate is listed, provided the stretch matches.
No linked kits
This record stands alone, without an on-the-rocker companion or sedan kit attached.
Material
The 99 5/8" stretch DeVille and DTS limousine kit is twelve 4.5" strips that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Cadillac.
Twelve pieces on a very long side
The data doesn't map them. Lay them out along the car on clean towels, in order from the photos, and match each to a panel before peeling anything.
Marking the line
Four and a half inches above the door bottom at every panel joint, marked with small pieces of painter's tape. Sight from both ends of the car and adjust until the marks form one straight line.
Prep
- Wash the full length of the lower body.
- Dry the limo's lower doors and wipe them with isopropyl alcohol.
- Repair chips or corrosion on door bottoms.
Applying
Work front to rear. Align each piece with the marks, peel a few inches of liner, set, and press along. Firm pressure over the face.
Helper
A second person watching from the end of the car keeps a long line from drifting.
Doors
Open each limo door once its piece is on.
Care
No wash for a day; mild soap from then on.
What to send when you call
Nameplate and year, the stretch figure from the builder's paperwork, your own measurement between the wheel openings, and a photo of the full side. With those, we can confirm this record matches your car or point you to the listing that does.
Bottom edges on a long car
A stretched body has more door bottoms and joints to inspect than a sedan. Walk the full length and look at each lower edge; any chip or bubble should be repaired before the steel covers it, because the tape bonds only as well as the paint beneath.
Supplies
A long tape measure, painter's tape, a marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and plenty of towels. Dry, mild weather.

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.
