Product Description
Cadillac Catera 1997-1999 Pillar Post Trim, Polished Stainless Pair (PP37250)
PP37250 is a two-cover pillar set for the Cadillac Catera sedan, listed for the three model years 1997-1999. It's $56.99, and both covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. The single fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
It's about as simple as a listing gets. No other Catera trim is linked, there's no larger pillar set to compare, and the record has no notes. The post isn't named and no widths are given. What you have to go on is the count, two, and the photographs. That's how to decide, as long as you take the photos out to the car. Look at both shapes, then find the post on your Catera that each one matches. If both have a clear home and those are the posts you'd like polished, the pair is right for you.
Check the year first, though. Three years is a short span, and if your Catera's records show a year outside 1997-1999, this listing doesn't name it. In that case, or if a shape doesn't look right for your car, ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP37250 and your year before buying.
The pair is decorative. Each cover sits over a post beside the side glass, and the Cadillac's doors, windows and seals carry on as before. Grade 304 resists corrosion through its alloy; it has no plating to wear.
Both mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape that adheres to the Catera's existing post finish. There's no drilling, and the sedan keeps all its trim. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time to plan around.
Only two posts to prepare, so do them well. Remove old wax and polish, and repair any chalky, cracked or lifting finish, since the tape bonds to that surface. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, turning to a clean face until it shows nothing.
For the Catera pair you need car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a couple of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A friend looking from the front of the car can tell you whether the two covers match.
Pick a dry, calm day in the shade. Unwrap both covers, compare them with the gallery, and phone us if either is bent or missing. The gallery shows where each of the two Catera covers goes. With its liner on, hold the first to its post, slide it until the reveal is even, and run painter's tape around it. Peel the liner, set the cover inside the tape, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the second cover the same way, then stand back and compare the two.
A Catera cover that won't bed down along its post isn't one to lean on. Keep the liner attached and phone 877-752-3811 so we can work out what's wrong. After the tape has cured, the two need only car soap and water when you wash the car, and a soft towel to finish.

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.
