Product Description
Pontiac Grand Prix 1997-2003 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP37280)
PP37280 puts four polished stainless covers on the pillar posts of the Pontiac Grand Prix sedan, model years 1997-2003. The set is $56.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless, and the fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Two other Grand Prix listings are linked. PP37281 is the six-cover pillar set for the same years and body. GC37280 is a single gas door cover, a separate part for a different spot on the car, and not part of either pillar set.
Between the two pillar sets, the listings give you only the count. Neither has notes, names its posts or lists widths, so the galleries are where you'll see the difference. Count the shapes in each and compare them with your Grand Prix's posts. If these four cover what you'd like polished, order this page. If the six-cover photos match your plan better, order PP37281. Do the comparison at the car if you can, holding each photo beside the post you think it fits; a shape that doesn't belong is much easier to spot that way.
All seven model years sit in one row, so the photo comparison is the same for any year from 1997 to 2003. It fits 1997-2003. For help with the galleries, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP37280.
The covers change only how the posts look. Each lies over a post beside the side glass; the Pontiac's doors, windows and seals are unaffected. The 304 alloy resists corrosion by its composition, with no plated layer.
Each of the four mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, bonding to the post's present paint or trim. No drill holes, and no trim taken off. Check the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
The Grand Prix's posts need to be clean and sound for the tape. Strip wax and polish, and fix chalky, crazed or peeling finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth comes up clean.
For the Grand Prix, set out car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a few lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil before you start. If a second person is free, have them stand at the nose and then the tail of the car to judge whether the covers match.
Choose shade and a dry, still day. Compare the four with the photos and call us about anything bent or missing. Arrange the Grand Prix covers as the photos do. With the liner on, hold each to its post, adjust until the gap is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, seat the cover in the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Put on the third Grand Prix cover, then the final pair.
If one of the four lifts at an end or rocks over its post, don't keep pressing; leave the liner on and ring us on 877-752-3811. When the cure time is up, wash the Pontiac's covers with car soap and water, as you would its paint, and pat them dry 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.
