Product Description
DTS Federal EXT Hearse 2006-2011 Rocker Trim, 2.25", 4 Pieces (TH46247)
TH46247 is tagged for the Cadillac DTS "Federal EXT Hearse," 2006-2011: four polished stainless steel pieces, 2.25" wide, that install on the rocker below the door.
Federal EXT, by name
The tag names both a builder (Federal) and a body ("EXT"). The record doesn't define EXT. Other DTS hearse kits in the group are tagged only "Hearse," and one names Eagle. If your coach doesn't carry the Federal EXT name, check with us at 877-752-3811 before choosing this kit.
On the rocker
This is a rocker kit, not a door kit. The steel goes on the panel below the door openings in a 2.25" band, a little over two inches. Measure the rocker face to make sure that band fits.
Four pieces on a hearse
The data doesn't explain how four pieces cover the rocker on this body, or whether the rear section behind the doors is included. Compare the product photos with your coach, and ask if it isn't clear.
Look-alike: TH46249
TH46249 is also four pieces at 2.25" on the rocker, but it's tagged just "Hearse" with an "Extended" note. The data doesn't say how the two differ. Order the one whose tag matches your coach, or call.
Material
The four DTS hearse pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, mounted on top of the existing body surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the paint.
Rocker prep
On the Federal EXT hearse, brush road film off the rockers with soapy water, rinse, dry and wipe with isopropyl alcohol, touching up chips before anything else.
Install
Tape all four pieces in place with painter's tape and look at the whole run before peeling any liner. Then set each one: peel a few inches, align, press along, and finish with firm pressure.
Linked DTS records

Afterward
Make sure each hearse door clears the trim, and leave washing for a day.
Care
Mild soap, mitt, towel.
Space
A long garage or a dry, mild day outside.
Hearse rocker spacing
Measure positions from the door openings so placement stays consistent.
What to send
Builder plate or badge, year, and a photo of each full side.
Before ordering
Confirm the coach is a 2006-2011 DTS built as a Federal EXT, and that the rocker below the doors has a clear band a little over two inches tall along its length. If your rocker has other trim, a step or damage in that area, send photos to 877-752-3811 first.
Rocker edge
Touch up scrapes along the hearse's lower rocker edge first.
Helpers
On a coach this long, a second person keeps each piece off the paint while you align it.
Mock it up
A strip of painter's tape along one rocker at about two and a quarter inches shows the finished line. Walk the side and look at it from both ends.

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.
