Product Description
Cadillac ATS Sedan 2013-2018 Side Molding Accent Trim, 4 Pieces of Polished Stainless (AT53235)
AT53235 lays a bright, even line along the doors of the 4-door ATS sedan for all six listed years. It is a four-piece body side molding accent in polished stainless steel, 1" wide. Four pieces on a four-door sedan keeps the kit simple, and the inch-wide strips give the ATS a crisp accent that can tie in with any chrome or bright trim already on the car.
Simple, focused kit
Compared with the multi-segment arrow kits QAA makes for some Cadillacs, this one is straightforward: four strips, cut for the ATS sedan. The catalog lists the width but does not give individual lengths, so the product photos are the best way to see the layout. The pieces are shaped for this car, so nothing needs to be measured or trimmed.
Material
QAA makes each strip in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes it to a mirror shine. Because the material is solid stainless, the finish is in the steel itself rather than a plated layer. Grade 304 is a standard for exterior brightwork, and 26 gauge describes the sheet thickness.
How it mounts
The 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape comes pre-applied, and the strips install directly over the existing door surface. No drilling, and nothing is removed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. Wash the doors, dry them completely, and wipe the mounting area with a clean cloth. Line up each strip before you peel the liner, then press it on firmly from one end to the other. The Installation tab gives the full list of steps.
Lots of ATS trim to match
QAA catalogs a deep range for this sedan:
- Lower rocker kits, starting with TH53235, an eight-piece kit that spans from the bottom of the door up, with a width from 2.25" to 4.125". Several more TH kits are listed as well.
- Pillar post kits in four and six pieces.
- Linked for the ATS sedan: a gas door cover, a license plate bezel, a rear bumper accent, a two-piece license bar extension and three different wheel well accent choices.
The side accent and a lower rocker kit together put two bright lines along the ATS. Every part is linked in the Fitment tab.

Installation tips: Body Side Molding Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
