Product Description
WP48252 Cadillac CTS 2008-2013 Sedan Stainless Window Trim Package, Upper Trim Only, 4 Pieces
For the 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS 4-door sedan, WP48252 is a four-piece Window Trim Package in polished stainless steel. The note reads "Includes Upper Trim only, NO Pillar Posts, NO window sills". Its note reads upper trim only.
Window tops only
Four pieces, one along the top of each door window of the CTS sedan. The pillars and the sills are left as they are. The listing doesn't say a pillar kit is required, so these four can be fitted by themselves.
If you want the pillars
WP48250 is the ten-piece package that includes pillar posts with the upper trim. There's no separate pillar set listed for this CTS, so decide before ordering. If you think you'll want the pillars covered too, the ten-piece package is the only route in this group. No sill set is listed either.
Construction
Cadillac CTS owners get the four upper window trim pieces in USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, secured over the existing trim with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the 2008-2013 Cadillac sedan.
Placing the four
Match them to their windows, front and rear, using the photos. Hold each along its window top with the photos open, and pencil its position on the liner. If two look alike, compare their ends and curves with the photos before deciding.
Preparing the window tops
Look along each frame top for leftover adhesive, wax or flaking paint and remove it. Wash and dry the Cadillac. Just before each piece goes on, clean its frame top with a wax-and-grease remover followed by isopropyl alcohol.
Fitting
Rest each piece on its frame with the liner still on and mark both ends with painter's tape. Close the door slowly to check it clears. Lift an inch of liner, press that end onto its mark, and keep peeling and pressing along the frame. After each piece, compare it with the ones already fitted so the trim looks uniform around the car.
Other CTS trim
The group also links a two-piece license bar extension trim and two fourteen-piece arrow body side molding accents at 1", AT48250 and AT48255. Their descriptions are identical, so call 877-752-3811 to confirm which suits your car before ordering one.
Counting and care
Count the four pieces and compare each against the photos as soon as the box arrives. After fitting, leave the sedan unwashed for a day; then mild soap and a soft cloth. If a piece won't follow its frame as the photos show, call 877-752-3811 before bonding it.
Choosing this set
Four pieces suit a CTS where the pillars and sills already look the way you want and only the window tops need stainless. It's the smallest window job in this group. Because there's no pillar set to order later, choose WP48250 instead if you want the pillars done.
The CTS four-piece set ships as WP48252, UPC 691821567904. Questions are welcome at 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Window Trim Package
- 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.
