Product Description
Cadillac ATS 2013-2018 Ten-Piece Rocker & Lower Kit, 7.375" Polished Stainless (TH53237)
TH53237 is the largest of the ATS side kits: ten pieces of polished stainless steel for the 2013-2018 Cadillac ATS sedan, listed at 7.375". The note covers two areas: "Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Door and rocker together
The part name is "On the rocker & Lower Kit." The ten pieces go on both the rocker below the doors and the lower part of the doors. The record doesn't say how the pieces are split between those areas or whether 7.375" is the height of one piece or the combined coverage of both. That figure is much larger than any other ATS kit, so ask us before assuming it. The product photos show the layout. Call 877-752-3811 if they leave you unsure.
Compared with the separate kits
TH53235 is an eight-piece door kit (2.25"-4.125"). TH53236 is a four-piece below-the-door kit (2.5"-3.25"), and TH53238 is a two-piece rocker strip (1.25"). The record doesn't say whether this ten-piece kit is built from any of them or has its own shapes.
Wheel well trim
WQ53237 is noted "cut to fit with Rocker kit TH53236 sold separately," naming the four-piece kit, not this one. WQ53235 is "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately," and WQ53236 is "Full Length." Call before pairing any of them with TH53237.
Material
The ten 7.375" 2013-2018 ATS pieces go below the doors and rise from the door bottom; QAA cuts them in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and sets them with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Planning ten pieces
Lay all ten out beside the car in the order the photos show, separating the door pieces from the rocker pieces. Label every liner with its side, area and position.
Prep two areas
Wash the lower doors and the rocker, rinse and dry, then wipe both with isopropyl alcohol.
Dry run
Tape a whole side up first. Open each door and check that the door pieces clear the rocker pieces. Then look along the side from both corners before peeling anything.
Bonding
Work one piece at a time: peel a little liner, set the end, and press along. Finish with firm pressure over every piece.
Contact
Before ordering
Because the width needs explaining and the kit covers two areas, we suggest a quick call to 877-752-3811 before you buy. Have the year, a side photo taken square on and a close-up of the lower doors ready.
Bottom edges
Check the lower doors and the rocker for chips or flaking paint, and repair them first. The tape bonds only to sound paint.
Help, weather and care
Ten pieces go faster with a helper. Choose a mild, dry day out of direct sun, and leave the car unwashed for a day afterward. Rinse road salt off the lower panels through the winter.
A careful dry run is the best way to see how the ten pieces fit together.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker & Lower Kit
- Unpack all 10 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.
