Product Description
Cadillac XT5 10-Piece Pillar Trim with Front Pillars Ahead of the Mirror, 2017-2026 (PP57262)
PP57262 extends the XT5's pillar trim all the way forward. QAA's catalog notes that this ten-piece kit includes two front pillars, front of the mirror, the sections that the four- and six-piece XT5 kits leave alone. It is cut for the 4-door Cadillac XT5 SUV and listed for every model year from 2017 through 2026.
What "front of the mirror" means
Each front door has a short pillar section at the leading corner of the glass, positioned in front of the side mirror. Covering it extends the polished frame to the very front of the window line, so the steel starts at the mirror instead of a few inches behind it. QAA lists two of these front pillars in the kit, and the photos show where they go.
Ten pieces versus twelve
The largest XT5 kit, PP57263, has twelve pieces and includes one triangle piece, front of the mirror, on top of the same front pillar coverage. If you want the front pillars covered and do not need that triangle piece, this ten-piece kit is the one. For reference, QAA also lists PP57260 with four pieces and PP57261 with six, neither of which includes the front pillars. The photos on all four listings make the differences easy to compare.
Ten years of fitment
QAA lists this kit for the XT5 4-door SUV in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. That is a full decade on one body style, and the Fitment tab shows it exactly as cataloged.
Material
The ten pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. Solid stainless keeps the brightness in the metal rather than in a plated layer, and it matches across every piece in the kit.
Installation
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. No factory trim comes off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. The front pillar pieces sit near the mirrors, so fold the mirrors in if that gives you more room, and clean those small areas with care. Sort all ten XT5 pieces by location and test-fit every one before peeling. The Installation tab covers the sequence.
Other QAA trim for the XT5
This SUV also has a 2-piece head light accent (HL57260), 2-piece sliding rear window trim accents (RW57260), a 4-piece wheel well accent kit 0.5 inches wide that installs with 3M adhesive and no gasket (WQ57260), a rear deck accent 1.25 inches wide (RD57260), a gas door cover (GC57260), and a license plate bezel (LP57260).
Specs and help
The Specs tab lists part number PP57262, UPC 691821311248, the material, and the coverage note. If you are deciding between this kit and the twelve-piece version, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and we will explain the difference on your vehicle.
Ten pieces is a good middle ground between the basic kits and the full twelve-piece package: you get the front of the window line finished without handling the triangle piece.

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.
