Product Description
Cadillac DeVille 1997-1999 Sedan Rocker Trim for the Doors, 6-Piece Full Kit, 7.5"-8.625" (TH37246)
TH37246 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille 4-door sedan. It tapers from 7.5" to 8.625" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." It carries no full-length or bumper coverage note.
The doors-only reading
Two other linked DeVille kits, TH37245 and TH37248, explicitly include coverage from the wheel well to the bumper at the front and rear and have ten pieces each. This six-piece kit has no such note, so the plain reading is that it stays along the doors. The record doesn't assign the six pieces, though, so confirm with the photos before ordering.
A catalog detail worth knowing
This kit and TH37248 list the same 7.5"-8.625" width. Yet this one is a Full Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," while TH37248 is called an Upper Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The record doesn't explain why the same height is described two ways. If you're choosing between them for the look at the door bottom, call 877-752-3811.
Measure first
Molding to door bottom, front and rear of each door. Readings between 7.5" and 8.625" fit the record.
Linked trim
GC37245 (one-piece gas door cover trim) and PP37246 (six-piece pillar post kit) are listed for this sedan. Check each listing for its finish.
Construction
On the 1997-1999 DeVille, six tapered strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless are pressed on between molding and door bottom using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Tall panels and the mirror effect
More than eight inches of polish shows small dents and ripples. Look along each lower door in angled light and repair before you install.
Cleaning
Wash, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Secure any loose molding.
Two-person job
One holds the lower corners clear, the other seats the top edge and presses outward.
Care
Keep the DeVille dry for a day.
Sorting six pieces
The record doesn't list positions. Lay the pieces out, compare their shapes with the photos and your doors, and write each one's place on a strip of painter's tape on its liner.
Taper direction
Over an inch of difference from one end to the other. The record doesn't say which end is taller, so hold each piece against its door with the liner on before peeling.
Door gaps and swing
After the door pieces are on, look at how they meet across the gap between front and rear doors, then open each door fully and check for contact at the hinge side.
Even DeVille gaps
Keep piece positions consistent along the DeVille.
Ongoing care: mild soap and soft towels; no scouring pads.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
