Product Description
Cadillac CTS 2014-2019 Full Rocker & Lower Kit, 10 Pieces, 5.25" (TH54252)
TH54252 is a ten-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS sedan that covers two zones: "Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The listed width is 5.25".
The "Full" kit
The wheel well listing WQ54250 is noted "Cut to fit with the Lower TH54250 or Full TH54252 Rocker kits sold separately." That's the only place the catalog calls this kit "Full," and it's useful in one way: WQ54250 is listed as cut to fit with this kit. If you want polished wheel openings with TH54252, that's the listing to look at.
What 5.25" describes
The record doesn't say whether 5.25" is one piece's height or the total from the rocker up the door. With ten pieces in two zones, that's worth confirming. Phone 877-752-3811 and we'll go over it with the photos.
Versus buying separately
The CTS also has an eight-piece door kit (TH54250, 2.25"-3.5") and two below-the-door kits (TH54251, 1.5"-2.125"; TH54253, 1.25"). Whether TH54252 is built from those pieces or has its own shapes isn't stated.
Steel and tape
The ten-piece 2014-2019 CTS kit is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless that QAA forms in the USA, carried below and up the doors on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the sedan.
Sorting into zones
Split the ten pieces into a door group and a rocker group using the photos. Write side, zone and position on each liner.
Prep both zones
Wash the lower doors and the rocker, rinse, dry, and wipe both zones with isopropyl alcohol. Fix any chipped paint first.
A full mock-up
Tape a complete side up, including WQ54250 if you bought it. Swing each door and confirm the door pieces clear the rocker pieces. Then stand at the front corner and check that the rows look even.
Committing
One piece at a time: a short liner peel, set the end, press along. Then a firm pass over everything.

Afterward
Skip washing the CTS for a day.

Order of work
Pick an order and keep to it. Setting the rocker row first gives you a straight line to work up from, and the photos show where each row ends.
Weather and a helper
Pick a mild, dry day in shade. A second person helps hold the longer door pieces straight while you press.
Window and pillar parts
WP54250 is noted "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills," and WP54251 "Includes Upper Trim only." Read each note before you buy one.
Paint check
Look over both zones for chips or old adhesive. Fix those before cleaning so every piece seats on sound paint.

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.
