Product Description
Ten-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Buick Encore, 2013-2022 (PP53563)
The set. PP53563 gives the Buick Encore ten pillar post covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for $95.49. Its only fitment row reads Buick Encore 2013-2022, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Ten of twelve. This is the second-largest of the five linked Encore sets; PP53564 has twelve, and the smaller ones are PP53560 (four), PP53561 (six) and PP53562 (eight). None carries a note, and posts and widths aren't listed for any of them.
Choosing between ten and twelve. Because the record can't say which posts the twelve-cover set reaches that this one doesn't, the decision rests on the photos. Open the ten- and twelve-cover galleries together, look closely at where each cover sits, and then compare that with the posts you can see on your own Encore. If the difference still isn't obvious, a call is the quickest way to settle it, and we're glad to go through the pictures with you before you order anything.
Year. The row spans 2013 through 2022, ten model years. Check your records; an Encore from outside that span isn't listed for this set. No other Encore trim is linked to this record.

Cosmetic. The covers dress the posts. Doors, glass and weatherstrip carry on working exactly as before, and the 304 alloy resists corrosion by its own chemistry, with no plating involved.
Mounting. Each of the ten attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape set on the post's existing paint or trim. There's no drilling, and nothing is removed from the Buick. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure period.
Prep. Ten posts take a while, so allow a good part of the morning. Wash each with car-soap water, rinse and dry. Clear any wax or polish, and repair paint that's chalky, cracking or flaking, since that coat is what the tape grips. Degrease with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, turning to fresh cloth until nothing comes off, and feel along each post for dents. Lay out low-tack painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel.
Fitting. Work in shade on a still, dry day. Compare the ten with the gallery and tell us at once about any damage. Dry-fit each with its liner on, nudge it until the border is even and mask its outline, numbering every mask. Then one at a time: peel the liner, set the cover in its mask and press firmly along its length and both edges. Remove the masking at the end and check each border from a step back.
Afterwards. Should one of the ten Encore covers sit proud or refuse to line up with its mask, leave its liner in place and call 877-752-3811 instead of pushing harder; we can look at the photos with you and work out what's happening. When the cure period on the Installation tab has passed, treat the posts like the rest of the Buick's bodywork: a car-soap wash, a clean-water rinse and a soft microfibre towel to dry them.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 10 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.
