Product Description
Cadillac XTS Limousine, 48" Stretch (2013-2019): Rocker Trim Below the Door, 3.375", 6 Pieces - TH53239
TH53239 is a six-piece set of polished stainless steel rocker trim for a 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS limousine with a 48" stretch. It "Installs below the door" and is a straight 3.375" wide.
48" versus 44"
QAA lists two XTS limousine rocker kits that look almost identical on paper. Both are six pieces, both are 3.375", and both install below the door. The only difference in the data is the stretch: 48" here and 44" on TH53240. The record names no coachbuilder for either. Measure your stretch, or check the conversion paperwork, before ordering. If the figure is neither 48" nor 44", or you can't confirm it, call 877-752-3811.
Pillar sets on the record
The XTS records link a long list of pillar post sets, each tagged to a body: S&S Superior Limousine (PP53220, "6-Door"), Eagle Limousine (PP53248, "6-door"), Accubuilt Hearse Limousine (PP53222) and several hearses. None is tagged with a stretch length, so the record doesn't say which one belongs with a 48" limousine. Call before pairing a pillar set with this kit.
Six pieces along a long body
The record doesn't describe how the six pieces are arranged. Lay them out against the product photos and label every liner.
Material
For the 48" stretch XTS limousine, six 3.375" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless go on below the doors using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the limousine.
Space to work
A stretched car needs a long, level area out of direct sun. A garage bay with room to walk the whole side is ideal. Pick a mild, dry day.
Prep
Scrub the rocker with soapy water and a soft brush along the full length, rinse, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
Guide line
On a long rocker, a painter's tape guide along the top edge helps keep every piece on one line. Check it from both ends before you start.
Placement
Tape a run of pieces up, open each door to make sure it clears, and walk the length of the car. Adjust, then peel and press one piece at a time.
Matching
Use a long tape measure to keep the XTS joint positions consistent.
Afterward
Leave the XTS trim a day before washing.
What to send when you call
The year, the stretch length, the builder if you know it, and a photo of each side taken square on.

Paint check
Before cleaning, inspect the full length of the rocker for chips or old adhesive and repair those spots first. A helper holding the far end of each piece makes the job far easier on a long body.
Final press
When a run is done, go back along it and press every piece again with firm hand pressure, paying attention to the ends and joints. Then carry on with the rest, checking the line from the front and rear before peeling each liner.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 6 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.
