Product Description
Full 12-Piece Stainless Pillar Package for the 2017-2026 Cadillac XT5, with Front Pillars and Triangle Piece (PP57263)
PP57263 is the most complete pillar kit QAA catalogs for the Cadillac XT5. Twelve polished stainless steel pieces cover the main pillars, and QAA notes that the kit also includes two front pillars and one triangle piece, front of the mirror. It fits the 4-door XT5 SUV from 2017 through 2026.
What sets the twelve-piece kit apart
The XT5 lineup climbs in steps. PP57260 has four pieces and PP57261 has six, neither with coverage notes. PP57262 has ten pieces, including two front pillars, front of the mirror. This kit has twelve, with one triangle piece, front of the mirror, on top of that. The triangle piece is a small three-cornered section near the front of the side glass. Including it closes one more gap in the bright frame. Compare the photos on all four listings to see exactly how the coverage builds.
Why go all the way
Smaller kits leave part of the pillar area in its existing finish. For many owners that is fine. Others want every visible section in steel, so the window line reads as one continuous frame from the mirror back. If that is what you are after on your XT5, this is the set QAA built for it.
Fitment
QAA lists this kit for the Cadillac XT5 4-door SUV in model years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as cataloged.
Material
All twelve pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. Since the shine is in the solid steel, there is no plating, and every piece matches the others.
Installation
The pieces use 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface. The XT5 keeps its original trim. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the surface of the vehicle. Twelve pieces is a bigger job than four, but the method is the same. Lay out every piece by position, clean each surface, and test-fit before peeling. The front pillar and triangle pieces are small and sit near the mirror, so take care with alignment there. The Installation tab walks through it.
Match the rest of the XT5
QAA also lists 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 with 3M adhesive and no gasket (WQ57260), a 1.25-inch-wide rear deck accent (RD57260), a gas door cover (GC57260), and a license plate bezel (LP57260) for this SUV.

One more planning note. With twelve pieces, a clean towel and a layout copied from the photos keep the XT5 job organized. Finish with a soft cloth wipe to clear fingerprints from the polished faces, then step back and check each XT5 window outline.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 12 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.
