Product Description
Chevrolet Cruze LT 2016-2019 Pillar Trim, 16 Pieces for Cars with Factory Chrome (PP56149)
If your Cruze is an LT sedan with factory chrome, PP56149 is the sixteen-piece pillar kit QAA catalogs for it. It covers two front and two rear pillar pieces as well as the front and rear triangle pieces, according to QAA's catalog notes. That is the fullest pillar coverage QAA offers for the 2016-2019 Cruze LT.
Why the LT has its own kit
QAA splits its two sixteen-piece Cruze kits by trim level. PP56148 is listed for L and LS models with no factory chrome, while this kit, PP56149, is listed for the LT model with factory chrome. The catalog does not describe the exact shape differences between them, so the photos and 877-752-3811 are the way to compare. Just match the kit to your car: LT with factory chrome, choose this one. If you are not sure which trim you have, check your paperwork or call us before ordering.
Coverage in plain terms
The front pillars run beside the windshield. The rear pillars sit behind the back door glass. The triangle pieces are small three-cornered sections near the corners of the side windows. This kit includes pieces for all of them, so the polished frame around the glass is complete rather than partial. On an LT that already wears factory chrome, the steel pillar trim builds on the bright look the car already has.
Other Cruze pillar kits
QAA also lists PP56145 (4 pieces), PP56146 (8 pieces, including two rear pillar pieces), and PP56147 (12 pieces, two front and two rear pillar pieces) for the 2016-2019 Cruze sedan. Those kits carry no trim-level note. The photos on each listing make the coverage differences easy to compare.
Owners of the LT sometimes ask whether putting steel on a car that already has chrome is too much. In practice the polished stainless sits alongside the factory brightwork as part of the same look, extending it up and around the glass instead of competing with it. The photos show how the finished frame looks on the car.
Material
QAA makes all sixteen pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. Being solid stainless, the finish is the metal itself and not a plated layer.
Installation
Every piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. No factory trim is removed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the surface of the vehicle. Organization is the key with sixteen pieces. Sort them by position, clean each surface, and test-fit every piece before you peel anything. The Installation tab lists the steps.
Fitment
Listed for the Chevrolet Cruze 4-door sedan, LT model, 2016-2019. That covers model years 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as QAA catalogs it.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 16 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.
