Product Description
Oldsmobile 88 1996-1999 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Covers (PP37440)
The Oldsmobile 88 sedan from the 1996-1999 model years gets four polished stainless pillar covers from PP37440. The set costs $56.99, it's formed from 26 gauge 304 stainless in the USA, and the one fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
Nothing at all is linked to this page: no other 88 pillar set and no related trim. The record keeps to the basics, with no notes, no named posts and no widths. So you'll be choosing from the photographs. That's straightforward with the car parked in front of you. Look at each of the four shapes, then walk around the Oldsmobile and find the post it belongs on. Polished stainless steel forms all four of the 88's covers.
Three quick checks before you buy. Your records should show an 88 four-door sedan from 1996 to 1999. Every shape in the gallery should have a clear post to go on. And those posts should be in decent shape, without dents or old repairs that would keep a flat cover from bedding down. If all three check out, the set is right for your car. If not, ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP37440 and your year, and we'll go through the four shapes with you.
Once on, the covers are for looks alone. Each sits on a post next to the side glass, and the 88's doors, windows and seals work as before. The 304 grade resists corrosion through its alloy and carries no plating.
Mounting uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on each cover, adhering to the posts' existing paint or trim. There's no drilling, and nothing on the sedan has to come off. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and cure time.
The bond is only as good as the four posts, so prepare them with care. Take off old wax or polish, and repair chalky, crazed or lifting finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding until a clean face picks up nothing.
For this Oldsmobile you'll need car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, some lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A second person can tell you from a few paces away whether the covers match.
Choose a still, dry day and park in shade. Check the four against the photos and call us about anything bent or missing. With the liner still attached, hold a cover to its post, nudge it until the margin is even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel the liner, lay the cover inside the outline, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover and compare, then do the last two.
Any cover that rocks or won't lie flat should stay lined while you phone 877-752-3811. After the tape's cure time, the four are washed along with the 88's paint using car soap, then dried 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.
