Product Description
Buick Lucerne 2006-2011 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ46551, 0.5" Wide, Full Length, No Gasket
For the 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne 4-door sedan, WQ46551 supplies four slim polished stainless steel wheel well accents. Its bullets read "0.5" Width, Full Length" and "With 3M adhesive installation NO black rubber gasket edging".
Where this set sits among the Lucerne options
Think of the four Lucerne sets as a grid of two widths and two lengths. WQ46551 is the narrow, Full Length one. Its narrow partner, WQ46550, is cut to fit with a rocker kit. The wider 0.875" pair is WQ46552 (cut) and WQ46553 (Full Length). Both 0.5" sets, this one included, are listed without gasket edging. The record doesn't define "Full Length"; it's simply the version without the rocker-kit cut note.
Who it suits
If you want a fine half-inch line of stainless at each arch and aren't fitting a rocker kit, this is the set listed for that. If TH46551, the eight-piece lower kit at 2-2.5625", is going on too, ask 877-752-3811 whether you should choose the cut version instead.
Bare edges
There's no black rubber gasket on these pieces, so what you see is polished stainless right to its edge. The photos show the effect.
Material
QAA cuts the four full-length Lucerne pieces of WQ46551 in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they sit over the existing surface on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.
Paint first
On a half-inch strip every millimetre of tape counts. So the routine is strict: shampoo, rinse and dry the opening; wait for the lip to drain; inspect the strip of paint with a torch held low; remove any speck of wax, old glue or loose paint; wipe with wax-and-grease remover. A thin guide line of painter's tape just outside the strip helps here, because there's no rubber edge to locate against the opening. The isopropyl alcohol wipe comes last, moments before the piece.
Laying the strip
Set the piece in place without peeling, fixed with two small tabs of tape. Look at it from straight on and from the wheel side, checking that the gap to the opening stays the same all the way round. Then lift a few centimetres of liner from one end and press with a fingertip, keeping the line; continue in short lengths to the other end. Remove the guide tape after a final press. Then the next opening.
Other Lucerne parts
WZ46550, a four-piece 1.5" Wheel Well Fender Trim Molding in "SHORT Style", is a different part type. Pillar sets PP46550 (4) and PP46551 (6), a gas door cover, a license plate bezel and a 1.5" rear deck accent are also listed.
Care
Count four pieces on arrival. Once fitted, no wash for a day; after that, mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping pressure-washer spray off the edges. Phone 877-752-3811 with any question.

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.
