Product Description
TH53240 Cadillac XTS 44" Stretch Limousine Rocker Trim, 6 Pieces, 3.375" (2013-2019)
TH53240 is listed for a 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS limousine with a 44" stretch. The kit has six pieces of polished stainless steel at a straight 3.375", and it "Installs below the door."
Four inches apart
The 48" stretch kit, TH53239, matches this one in piece count, width and placement. Only the stretch figure separates them. That makes the stretch length the one detail you have to get right. The conversion paperwork is the best source. If you don't have it, ask the builder to confirm it. Call 877-752-3811 if your figure doesn't match either listing.
No builder named
The fitment line reads "Limousine, 44" Stretch" without a coachbuilder. If your limousine's builder appears on another XTS listing, such as the Accubuilt Limousine Hearse kit TH53244, compare both records and ask us which applies.
The sedan kits are different
For the standard 4-door XTS sedan, QAA lists TH53246, a four-piece below-the-door kit at the same 3.375". It isn't listed for a stretched body, so don't use it on a limousine.
Construction
The 44" stretch XTS limousine kit is six 3.375" strips for below the doors, made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Cadillac.
Layout
The record gives no layout for the six pieces. Order them front to rear by the photos and label each liner.
Cleaning a long rocker
Work in sections: wash, rinse and dry one door length at a time, then wipe the whole run with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Dry fit
Tape the whole side up first. Open each door, then walk the side from end to end and sight along it. Only then peel and press.
Two people
Long pieces go on straighter with someone holding the far end on the line.
XTS spacing
Measure each XTS joint position and keep it the same across the kit.
Conditions and care
Mild, dry and out of the sun. No washing for a day afterward.
Contact
Before ordering
Confirm the base car is a 2013-2019 XTS, the body is a limousine, and the stretch measures 44". Photograph each full side square on and have the year ready. If anything is uncertain, send the photos to 877-752-3811 before buying.
Paint under the trim
Look along the rocker for chips, flaking paint or old adhesive and fix them first, since the tape bonds only to sound paint.
Equipment
Gather soapy water, a soft brush, towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and a tape measure long enough for the XTS limousine.
Final press
Once a run is finished, go back over every piece with firm hand pressure along the edges and at the joints. Sight along the car from each end to confirm the line is straight before you continue.
Afterward
Hand wash gently for the first week, and keep pressure washers away from the edges.

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.
