Product Description
Buick Lucerne 2006-2011 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ46553, 0.875" Wide, Full Length
WQ46553 gives the 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne 4-door sedan four polished stainless steel wheel well accents at 0.875", noted "0.875" Width, Full Length" and "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
The wide, Full Length option
Of the four Lucerne sets, this is the wider one without a rocker-kit cut. It carries black rubber gasket edging. If you're buying rocker trim, WQ46552 is the 0.875" set noted as cut to fit with a rocker kit; at 0.5" the choices are WQ46550 (cut) and WQ46551 (Full Length), both without gasket. "Full Length" isn't defined in the record; compare the photos.
Rocker trim and this set
TH46551 is the eight-piece lower kit linked for the Lucerne, at 2-2.5625". The record doesn't say whether it can be used with a Full Length set, so ask 877-752-3811 if you want both.
Material
The four full-length Lucerne strips, 0.875" wide, are cut by QAA in the USA from high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and applied over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.
Arch cleaning for a wide piece
At nearly an inch wide, each piece covers a good band of paint, and all of it needs to be sound. Wash the opening and well beyond it. Dry it; give the lip time. Then read the paint: under a lamp held at a shallow angle, chips, adhesive ghosts and wax smears stand out. Treat each. Wax-and-grease remover over the whole band, then isopropyl alcohol when the piece is ready.
Fitting technique
Begin at the rear. Lay the piece along the opening with its backing on, fixing the ends with painter's tape, and press the gasket lightly against the opening to see that it seats along the curve. Satisfied, peel two inches of backing at the bottom end, set it, and walk the piece up and round the arch, pressing with the flat of your thumb as the liner comes away. Repeat on the other rear corner, then do the fronts.

Before ordering
Check the year (2006-2011) and the body (4-door sedan). Decide on width and whether rocker trim is in your plan; that picks the set.
Care
Count four pieces on arrival. After fitting, wait a day to wash, then use mild soap, a soft cloth and no pressure washer on the gasket. Questions: 877-752-3811.
On arrival, check each gasket edge for kinks before prep, and keep the liners on until each piece has been dry-fitted on its own arch. If the photos leave you unsure whether the wide Full Length look suits your Lucerne, compare them with the photos of WQ46551 before ordering.

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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
