Product Description
Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces, for the 1988-1993 Dodge Dynasty and Chrysler New Yorker (PP18898)
PP18898 is a four-piece polished stainless pillar post set. Its title and fitment rows list the same two vehicles: the Dodge Dynasty 1988-1993 and the Chrysler New Yorker 1988-1993, both tagged 4-door and Sedan. A New Yorker owner from those years should read on, since everything here applies to both, from the piece count to the tape. If you want to be sure, a quick call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 will confirm PP18898 before ordering.
What you get
Four covers made from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA, listed at $56.99. No other pillar sets are linked to this one, so there's no count to choose between: four is the option on this sheet.
The listing has no notes, no width and no names for the pillars covered. The product photos show the four shapes, and they're the best way to check the set against your car. Look at each outline in the gallery, then at the uprights beside your side windows. If the shapes don't match what you see, call before buying.
Why stainless
The polish is the steel's own surface, not a chrome coat over plastic, so there's nothing to flake or peel. That matters on a car of this age, where you want the brightwork to keep its look with ordinary washing.
Mounting on an older car
The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't drill and nothing is removed. On a car from these years, the condition of the surface under each cover matters more than usual. Tape needs a sound, clean face to bond to. If the pillar finish is flaking, cracked or loose, deal with that first, or call for advice, because the tape can only hold as well as the surface beneath it. Check the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Fitting it
Pick a dry, mild day and work in the shade. Open the box, count four covers and check them against the photos. Call if anything is bent or missing.
Wash the pillars with mild car soap, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Old wax builds up, so give these areas a second wipe and make sure no residue remains where the tape will sit.
Hold the Dynasty covers against the photos to place them. Hold each one in place with its liner on, line up the edges, and mark the outline with painter's tape. Peel the liner, place the cover on its marks, and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Fit the next cover, then step back to compare before doing the last two.
Should a Dynasty or New Yorker cover not lie flat, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811. When cured, ordinary car soap and a soft towel are all the four covers need.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
