Product Description
Buick LaCrosse 2010-2016 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ50520, Cut to Fit with Rocker Kit, 4 Pieces
For the 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse 4-door sedan, WQ50520 is a four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim set in polished stainless steel. Its note says "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately", QAA lists it as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging", and the record gives no width.
Three rocker kits, no name in the note
The cut note doesn't say which kit it's cut for, and the LaCrosse has three:
- TH50520: four pieces, On the rocker, 1.625-3", installs below the door.
- TH50521: eight pieces, a lower kit spanning from the bottom of the door up, noted "with Cut Out for factory trim".
- TH50523: two pieces, On the rocker, 1.25", installs below the door.
Call 877-752-3811 before ordering to find out which of the three this set is cut to meet.
No rocker kit?
WQ50521 is the Full Length LaCrosse set, listed without the cut.
Material
The LaCrosse arch set is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel that QAA forms in the USA, edged in black rubber gasket and fixed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.

Before ordering
Confirm a 2010-2016 LaCrosse sedan, identify the rocker kit by phone, and order it alongside WQ50520 if it isn't fitted yet.
Sequence and prep
The confirmed rocker kit goes on first. When it's in place, turn to the arches. Each one gets shampoo, a rinse, a dry and a few minutes to drain. Next, look hard at the bottom of each band where the cut end will sit beside the rocker trim, and then along the rest of it. Old residue, wax and chipped paint all come off or get repaired. Wax-and-grease remover next, then isopropyl alcohol just before the piece goes up.
Placing the cut pieces
Hold each piece on its liner against the arch, tabs of painter's tape at the ends, and compare two lines with the photos: the gasket round the opening and the cut end against the rocker trim. When both agree, peel from the upper end and press steadily down the curve toward the rocker trim, so the cut end is fixed last. If the cut end and rocker trim don't line up, leave the liner on and phone 877-752-3811; don't trim the stainless.
Arrival and care
On arrival, confirm there are four pieces and inspect each cut end. Let the trim sit a day after fitting before washing it with mild soap and a soft cloth, and keep pressure-washer spray off the gasket.
Matching the kit to your car
TH50521 mentions a cut-out for factory trim, so look at the lower doors of your LaCrosse before the call; describing what is there helps 877-752-3811 match the right rocker kit to WQ50520 quickly. Keep each liner on until its piece has been held against the fitted rocker trim.

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.
