Product Description
Suzuki Samurai 1985-1994 Two-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim (PP87373)
PP87373 is a two-piece set of mirror-polished stainless steel pillar covers listed for the 2-door Samurai compact SUV, model years 1985 through 1994, and made in the USA.
A simple two-piece kit
This kit has two covers, and QAA does not link any other pillar kits or related Samurai parts to it. The catalog has no coverage note, so it does not say which posts the two Samurai pieces dress. With a two-piece set on a 2-door body, the photos make the layout easy to see; check them before ordering, and call if anything is unclear.
Years listed
1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 Suzuki Samurai, 2-door compact SUV. The Fitment tab shows the record as QAA keeps it. If your Samurai has been modified, or you are not sure of the year, confirm with us before buying.
Why stainless suits an older vehicle
Each cover is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The shine is the steel itself rather than a plated coating, so there is no bright skin that can peel away. For a vehicle of this age, that also means the two pieces will not look newer or older than each other; both share the same finish.
How it attaches
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used to each cover, and the pieces install over the existing surface. No removal of trim. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Prep on an older finish
Paint on a decades-old vehicle can carry layers of wax, polish, or oxidation, and tape bonds best to a clean, sound surface. Wash the pillars thoroughly, dry them, and wipe with a wax-free cleaner. If the paint is chalky or flaking where the cover will sit, address that first; tape will only hold as well as the surface beneath it.
Installing the two covers
Work on a dry, mild day out of direct sun. Hold each cover in position with its liner still on and compare it with the photos. When it looks right, peel the liner and press firmly from one end to the other. Place the second piece to match the first. Give the tape a few days before washing. The Installation tab has full steps.
What pillar posts are
They are the upright body sections beside the door glass. On a 2-door, polished covers give the window openings a bright edge while leaving the original surface underneath.
Care
Rinse dust and mud off the Samurai first, then wash with mild soap and dry with a soft towel. Keep abrasive pads away from the mirror finish.
Placing the two Samurai pieces
With only two pieces, careful placement against the photos is what makes the job look finished. After placing the first, measure by eye from fixed points such as the door edge and window corner, so the second sits the same way.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
