Product Description
Buick LaCrosse 2010-2016 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ50521, Full Length, 4 Pieces
WQ50521 is the Full Length four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse 4-door sedan. The note says "Full Length", and the listing describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". The record lists no width.
For a LaCrosse without rocker trim
Its partner, WQ50520, is "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately". WQ50521 carries no such cut, so it's the listed set for a LaCrosse that isn't getting rocker trim. The record doesn't define "Full Length"; the photos show how far the pieces run.
The LaCrosse rocker kits
Three are linked: TH50520 (four pieces On the rocker, 1.625-3", below the door), TH50521 (eight pieces spanning from the bottom of the door up, "with Cut Out for factory trim") and TH50523 (two pieces On the rocker, 1.25"). Nothing in the record says whether any of them pairs with the Full Length arches, so speak to 877-752-3811 before ordering a rocker kit with this set.
Four pieces
Each piece is polished stainless with black rubber gasket edging. Corners aren't labelled in the record; use the photos.
Material
The full-length LaCrosse arch set is four pieces of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 2010-2016 Buick.

Before ordering
Confirm a 2010-2016 LaCrosse 4-door sedan, and settle the rocker-trim question first; it decides between WQ50521 and WQ50520. With no width given, compare the photos with your car.
Preparing the Buick
Work in a shaded spot. Wash the four openings and rinse well. Dry each with a fresh towel and let the lips drip out while you lay out the pieces. Then crouch at each arch with a lamp: wax haze shows as a dull smear, old adhesive as a faint ridge, chips as dark specks. Remove or repair them. Wipe the band with wax-and-grease remover and, just before fitting, isopropyl alcohol.
Putting the pieces on
Work rear corners first this time. Hold the piece up on its backing, pin each end with painter's tape, and nudge the gasket against the opening with a fingertip to check it seats all along. Check the ends against the photos. Then lift the backing at the top of the arch and work down one leg, pressing as you go; return to the top and finish the remaining leg. Press the whole piece once more and move to the opposite rear corner.
Arrival and care
Count four pieces and inspect each gasket edge on arrival, liners on. After fitting, a day before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth, no pressure washer on the gasket. Questions: 877-752-3811.
Check the LaCrosse model year on your paperwork 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.
