Product Description
Chevrolet Caprice 1991-1997 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP30175)
PP30175 is a four-cover pillar set for the Chevrolet Caprice from the 1991-1997 model years. Its fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan. The set costs $56.99, and the covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Two other Caprice pillar sets are linked, and each comes with a note this page doesn't have. PP33176 has six covers and the note "Includes rear pillar trim." PP33175 has eight covers and the note "Includes rear/rear post and front/front triangle." This four-cover listing mentions neither a rear pillar piece nor a triangle, so don't assume either is in the box. If those areas matter to you, compare the galleries of the other two closely or ask before ordering.
The two linked listings also carry a body tag that reads "4-door, Sedan, does not fit Wagon." PP30175's own row simply reads 4-door, Sedan. Either way, the sedan is the body listed, so check your records for a four-door sedan from 1991-1997.
Apart from those notes, none of the three listings names its pillars or gives widths, so the photographs decide the count. Trace the outlines in each gallery and picture them on your Caprice. If these four shapes are the posts you'd like in polished steel, order this page; if another gallery matches your plan, order that listing instead.

The covers are cosmetic. Each slim panel goes over a post between the side windows, and the Chevrolet's doors, glass and seals are left alone. Grade 304 resists corrosion on its own rather than through plating.
Holding each Caprice cover in place is the strip of 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape already on its underside. It grips the paint or trim the sedan's posts wear now, so there's no drill involved and none of the Chevrolet's trim needs to come off. Check the Installation tab for the temperature range and the cure time before picking a day.
On a car of this age, the post finish deserves a careful look, because that's what the tape holds to. Feel for chalkiness, look for crazing or cracks, a corner lifting away, or old wax and polish, and repair or remove each before fitting day. Then wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one comes away clean.
Gather car soap and a bucket, alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper standing off the sedan is useful for judging each cover.
On a dry, still day in shade, check the four covers against their photos and phone us about anything bent or missing. Use the Caprice gallery to place each cover. With the liner on, set each cover against its post, adjust until the gap looks even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel, settle the cover in its outline, press firmly along its length and both edges, and fit the next.
Should one of the Caprice's four lift at an end, leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. When the tape has fully cured, give the covers the same car-soap wash as the sedan's paint, drying with a soft towel.

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.
