Product Description
Cadillac XTS Sedan Ten-Piece Rocker & Lower Kit, 6.375", 2013-2019 (TH53247)
TH53247 is a ten-piece kit of polished stainless steel for the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS sedan. Its note covers two areas: "Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The width given is 6.375".
Two areas in one kit
The part name is "On the rocker & Lower Kit." That puts steel in two zones, under the doors and on the door skins, yet the listing never splits the ten between them, nor says if 6.375" belongs to one piece or to both zones together. Look at the product photos, and call 877-752-3811 before you rely on that number.
Compared with buying two kits
The sedan also has an eight-piece door kit (TH53245, 2"-3.375") and two below-the-door kits (TH53246, four pieces at 3.375"; TH53248, two pieces at 1.25"). The record doesn't say whether this ten-piece kit is made up of any of those pieces or has its own shapes. If you're comparing options, ask us.
Sedan only
The fitment row is the 4-door sedan. The limousine and hearse versions of the XTS have their own rocker listings.
Steel and tape
The ten XTS sedan pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, bonded below and up the doors with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Sorting ten pieces
Separate the pieces into door pieces and rocker pieces using the photos, then label each liner by area and position.
Prep
Clean both areas: wash, rinse, dry, then isopropyl alcohol on the lower doors and the rocker.
Rehearse a run
Tape the whole side up. Open each door and make sure the door pieces clear the rocker pieces as it swings. Then step back and check that both rows read as one clean line from the front.
Bonding
Peel and press one piece at a time, then go back over each with firm hand pressure.
Door and rocker rows
Use a tape measure to keep every XTS position consistent.
Linked parts
PP53245, PP53246, PP53247 (pillar sets) and GC53245 (gas door cover). Check each listing for its finish.
Contact
Ring us first
With one width figure for a kit that spans two zones, we'd like to talk it through with you before you buy. Phone 877-752-3811 with your model year and two pictures: the whole side of the XTS, and the zone where door meets rocker.
Sound paint
Stone chips or lifting clear coat on either zone should be fixed before any steel goes on.
Help and conditions
Ten pieces go faster with two people. Work on a mild, dry day in shade, and wait a day before washing.
Final check
Once all ten are on, walk around the car, press every piece again along its length, and confirm from each front corner that the door and rocker rows look even.

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.
