Product Description
TH53246 Cadillac XTS Sedan Rocker Trim, 3.375", 4 Pieces, Below the Door (2013-2019)
TH53246 is a four-piece set of polished stainless steel rocker trim for the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS sedan. It "Installs below the door" and is a straight 3.375" wide.
Sedan versus limousine
Two XTS limousine kits, TH53239 (48" stretch) and TH53240 (44" stretch), share this kit's 3.375" width and below-the-door placement, but they have six pieces and are listed for stretched bodies. TH53246 has four pieces and is listed for the standard 4-door sedan. Don't swap them. Order the one that matches your body.
Wide or narrow below the door
For the sedan, this is the wide below-the-door option. TH53248 is a two-piece strip at 1.25". The record doesn't compare their coverage beyond count and width. Tape a guide line at each height along the car and look from a few steps back to choose.
Other sedan kits
TH53245 is the eight-piece Lower Kit on the doors (2"-3.375"), and TH53247 is a ten-piece kit at 6.375" that covers both the rocker and the lower doors.
Material and mounting
For the 2013-2019 XTS sedan, four 3.375" strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop go below the doors on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Check the space
Measure the height of the area below your doors at the front and rear. Three and three-eighths inches of steel needs to fit there. If the space looks tighter, or an aftermarket skirt is in place, send a photo to 877-752-3811.
Four pieces
The record doesn't say how the four are split between the sides. Use the photos and label each liner.
Cleaning
Brush the XTS rocker with soapy water, rinse, dry fully, then give it an isopropyl alcohol wipe.
Placement
Tape each piece up and open every door, watching the bottom edge as it swings. Then peel the liner and press steadily.
Matching
Measure each XTS strip from the wheel openings.
Linked parts
Pillar sets PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247 and the gas door cover GC53245 are tagged for the sedan. Check each listing for its finish.
Afterward
Wait a day before washing. In winter, rinse road salt off the rocker.
Contact
Before ordering
Confirm the car is the standard XTS sedan from 2013 to 2019, not a conversion. If you're not sure whether the body has been stretched, compare the door count and length with the product photos, and call 877-752-3811 with a side photo if anything looks different.
Paint check
Look along the rocker for chips or old adhesive and repair them first, since the tape needs sound paint.
Final press
When all four pieces are on, press each again along its length, then sight along the car from the front corner.
What to send
If you call, include the year, a side photo taken square on, and your rocker height measurements. We'll confirm the fit and help you compare it with the strip kit.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 4 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.
