Product Description
Accubuilt 47" Stretch Cadillac Limousine Rocker Trim, DeVille 2000-2005 / DTS 2006-2011, 6 Pieces (TH40259)
TH40259 names both a builder and a length: Accubuilt, 47" stretch. The record is six pieces of polished stainless steel, each 2.25" wide, filed "On the rocker" with the note "Installs below the door." Its width line says "47" extension." There are two fitment rows, and both list the Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 and the DTS 2006-2011 with an Accubuilt 47" tag; they differ only in a comma. The title names both nameplates.
Two details to confirm
Start with your conversion paperwork. It should tell you who built the car and how far it was stretched. This record wants Accubuilt and 47". If either detail is different, or you can't find the paperwork, call first. Call 877-752-3811 with photos of the full side and we'll check before you spend anything.
Nothing paired with it
There are no siblings on this sheet. That means no door-mounted kit is linked here, and we won't suggest one from the record alone. If you want trim on the doors too, ask what's available for your car.
About the steel
The six pieces for the 47" stretch Accubuilt limousine are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. They go on below the doors over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Six pieces, no map
The data gives the count and nothing about lengths or order. The product photos show the pieces, so match each one up and write its position on the liner. Dry-fit a whole side with painter's tape before peeling.
Rocker condition
This trim lives low on the car, where gravel hits. Look along the panel under the doors in good light. Fill and cure any chips in the two-and-a-quarter-inch band first, because tape only holds as well as the paint beneath it.
Cleaning sequence
Soap and water, then a scrub of the lower edge, a rinse, and a full dry. Finish with isopropyl alcohol on a fresh cloth, wiping until it comes away clean.
Setting a straight line
A long limousine makes small errors obvious. Choose one distance below the door bottoms, put painter's tape marks at that height every couple of feet, and sight along them from the bumper.
Applying
Peel back a few inches of liner, lay the end on your marks, and press. Continue peeling and pressing to the far end, then go over the whole piece again with firm pressure.
Done right
Open each door fully to confirm clearance. Look the car over from the front and rear. Wait a day before the first wash.
Work conditions
A dry, mild day or an indoor bay. Cold slows the bond, so let parts and panels warm first.
Care
Mild soap and a soft mitt are all the steel needs. Dry it after washing to keep the polish free of spots, and skip abrasive pads or polishes with grit.

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