Product Description
Buick Lucerne 2006-2011 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ46550, 0.5" Wide, Cut to Fit with Rocker Kit, No Gasket
For the 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne 4-door sedan, WQ46550 is a four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim set in polished stainless steel. Its listing reads "0.5" Width, cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately" and "With 3M adhesive installation NO black rubber gasket edging".
Four Lucerne wheel well sets
This Lucerne has four wheel well listings, differing by width, cut and edging:
- WQ46550 (this set): 0.5", cut to fit with rocker kit, no gasket edging.
- WQ46551: 0.5", Full Length, no gasket edging.
- WQ46552: 0.875", cut to fit with rocker kit.
- WQ46553: 0.875", Full Length.
Choose by width first, then by whether you're fitting a rocker kit.
The rocker-kit cut
The note doesn't name a rocker kit. The only rocker kit linked for this Lucerne is TH46551, an eight-piece lower kit at 2-2.5625" that spans from the bottom of the door up. Call 877-752-3811 to confirm it's the kit this set is cut to meet before you order.
No gasket edging
The Lucerne set has no black rubber gasket edging, so its stainless edges show bare.
Material
The four 0.5" Lucerne arch strips have no rubber gasket edging; they are USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless held over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Buick.
Order of work
Fit the rocker kit first, so each cut end of these 0.5" pieces can be checked against it.
Preparing a narrow band
A half-inch strip has little tape area, so make the band perfect. Wash, dry and inspect each opening; mark the band with painter's tape; clean inside it with wax-and-grease remover; and use isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Fitting
Hold each piece in place on its liner with small tape tabs. Check it runs evenly along the opening and that the cut end meets the rocker trim as the photos show. Peel from the end away from the rocker trim, pressing with a fingertip, and finish at the cut end.

Care
Skip washing for a day, then use mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping the pressure washer off the edges. Lucerne questions go to 877-752-3811.
Choosing among the four
If you want the slim 0.5" line with bare stainless edges and are fitting the rocker kit, WQ46550 is the listed choice. Without a rocker kit, the 0.5" Full Length set WQ46551 is the version listed without the cut. For a wider 0.875" line, look at WQ46552 (cut) and WQ46553 (Full Length). Whichever you pick, compare the photos with your Lucerne. When the box arrives, count four pieces and check each cut end is clean and straight, keeping the liners on until each piece has been set against the fitted rocker trim. Don't trim the stainless yourself.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- 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.
