Product Description
S&S Hearse Rocker Trim Under the Doors, DeVille 2000-2005 / DTS 2006-2011, 4 Pieces, 2.5" (TH40254)
Unlike the Lower Kits around it, TH40254 is filed "On the rocker" and its note says it "Installs below the door." It's four pieces of polished stainless steel, 2.5" wide. The fitment row and the title cover the Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 and the DTS 2006-2011, each tagged S&S Hearse.
Below the doors, not on them
This is the main thing to understand before ordering. The Lower Kits in this group rise from the bottom edge of the doors. This one goes beneath that edge, on the rocker itself. If you were picturing steel on the doors, this isn't that kit.
Four pieces on a long body
The data doesn't explain how four pieces cover the rocker of a hearse body, or where each one starts and stops. Look closely at the product photos, and if your car's rocker looks different, send pictures to 877-752-3811 before buying.
Builder and nameplate
The tag says S&S. Check the conversion paperwork or the coachbuilder's badge, and if your hearse came from a different builder, call to confirm before ordering.
Standalone record
No siblings are linked. The record doesn't name a door kit to go with it.
Material
The four S&S Hearse pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, attached below the doors with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the DeVille or DTS coach.
Checking the rocker face
Close the doors, crouch down, and look at the panel beneath them. The pieces need a flat, sound area about two and a half inches tall. Stone chips are common this low on a car, so touch up anything in the band and let it cure.
Finding your line
Choose a set distance below the door bottoms that keeps all four pieces on flat paint. Mark it with painter's tape at several points along the body and sight from the bumper to make sure it runs straight.
Install steps
- Clean with soap and water, dry, and finish with isopropyl alcohol.
- Dry-fit each hearse piece with painter's tape.
- Peel a short section of liner, place the piece on your marks, and press along as the liner comes off.
- Go over the whole piece with firm pressure.
Finishing up
Open each door to confirm its bottom edge clears the new trim. Check the line from a few steps back. Leave the car unwashed for a day so the tape can settle in.
Worth having nearby
A kneeling pad, good light, a tape measure, and clean microfiber cloths make work this low much easier.
Before you click order
Ask yourself two things: is the car an S&S conversion, and do you want steel under the doors rather than on them? If either answer is uncertain, a photo of the full side and a call to 877-752-3811 will sort it out quickly.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 4 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.
