Same as WZ40245?
Title, width, fitment, piece count and hardware all match WZ40245. Only the UPC differs, and the record doesn't say what "-AP" stands for. If you want to know which to buy, phone QAA at 877-752-3811.
The material
For the Cadillac, QAA supplies imported stainless steel in molded form, which the record rates as high quality. The pieces are, in QAA's phrase, cut to perfection & polished to a mirror shine.
Screws only
The record gives screw in installation with screws included. No lock tabs are listed, so plan to screw every piece in place.
Linked rocker and pillar trim
Three rocker options are on the list: TH40243 (eight-piece lower kit, 6.5"), TH40245 (eight-piece lower kit, 4.5") and TH40248 (four pieces at 2.25", installed below the door). For the pillars there are PP40245 (four pieces), PP40246 (six) and PP40246-OL (six, outline trim only with a 1/2" surround). PP40243 is tagged for the Federal Hearse rather than the sedan. Read each page's notes before buying it.
Model and year
The DeVille range is 2000-2005 and the DTS range 2006-2011. Check the badge on your car and match the year to the right range.
Measuring up
Measure next to each wheel opening and compare with 1.25". Compare the openings with the photos too; the record gives no piece-by-piece layout.
Before ordering
Any mismatch in model, year, width or shape is a reason to call first, with SKU WZ40245-AP and the UPC.
Planning
Choose dry weather and leave time to clean every opening before the first screw goes in. Lay the four pieces out next to the car in photo order.
Preparing the fenders
Wash each opening area with soapy water, rinse and dry. Tar and old wax come off with wax-and-grease remover.
Fitting
Offer each piece up and compare it with its photo before fastening. Then drive the screws along the piece so it sits flush. Finish the front openings before the rear.
Unboxing
Lay out four pieces and the screws on a clean blanket and confirm nothing is missing.
Checking your work
Circle the car from a few paces away. Each piece should sit evenly; if one won't, call QAA. Recheck the screws a few days later.
Care
Rinse off grime regularly and buff the stainless dry.
Which rocker kit
If you buy rocker trim, the choice comes down to width and position. The two lower kits differ in width, 6.5" and 4.5", and both reach up from the bottom of the door. TH40248 is narrower again at 2.25" and sits below the door. Compare their photos with your sills and call QAA if you can't decide. Each is its own job, so fit it on a separate day from the fender trim.
Order of work
Fit a front opening, then the rear behind it, then the remaining two. If any opening doesn't match its photo, leave that piece unfastened and phone.
