Product Description
Cadillac CTS 2014-2019 Sedan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ54251, Cut to Fit with TH54251 On the Rocker, 6 Pieces
WQ54251 is a six-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS 4-door sedan. The note reads "Cut to fit with the Rocker kit TH54251 ON the Rocker sold separately", and the listing describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging". No width is listed.
Paired with TH54251
The note names one kit: TH54251, four pieces On the rocker at 1.5-2.125", which installs below the door. That makes WQ54251 the CTS set to choose when that narrower on-the-rocker trim is the look you want. The CTS has two other cut sets with their own pairings. WQ54250 is cut for the Lower TH54250 or Full TH54252 kits. WQ54252 is Full Length, with no cut at all. The two-piece TH54253 (On the rocker, 1.25") isn't named by any of the three notes; ask 877-752-3811 before pairing it.
Material
QAA makes the six pieces in the USA from high-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, each bonded over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.

Before ordering
Confirm a 2014-2019 CTS sedan and order TH54251 along with this set. Check the photos to see how the six pieces are arranged; the record doesn't say.
TH54251 first
Fit the four TH54251 pieces below the doors and let them settle. Then work on the arches.
Preparing the arches
Each opening needs to be fully clean where both the gasket and the tape will sit. Work in shade. Rinse off loose grit, wash with car shampoo on a soft mitt, rinse again, then dry by blotting rather than wiping. Let the lip drain. Under a lamp, check for residue from old stickers or trim, wax build-up and paint chips, especially at the lower ends close to the TH54251 pieces. Clear residue with a plastic scraper, touch up chips, wipe on wax-and-grease remover and then, just before each piece, isopropyl alcohol.
Fitting
Offer up each opening's pieces with their liners on, two tabs of painter's tape each, and check them against the photos at the gasket line and at the cut ends beside TH54251. Begin at the top of the arch and work down toward the cut ends, peeling the liner in short sections and pressing behind as you go. Finish each opening before moving on.
Arrival and care
Count six pieces and look at every cut end on arrival. After fitting, a day before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping pressure-washer spray off the gasket. If a cut end doesn't meet TH54251 as the photos show, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
