Product Description
Buick Century 1997-2004 & Regal 1998-2004 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP37540)
PP37540's title and fitment record name two Buicks: the Century, 1997-2004, and the Regal, 1998-2004. Both rows carry the tags 4-door, Sedan. A Regal sedan from those years is therefore listed here alongside the Century, though the Regal's span begins one year later.
The set is four polished stainless pillar covers for $56.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. The linked six-cover version, PP37541, has the same two rows. Neither listing has notes, names its posts or gives widths, so the difference between four and six is something you'll see in the galleries rather than read about. Count the shapes in each, hold them up against your Buick's posts, and pick the set that covers the posts you'd like polished. Four matching your plan means this page; six means PP37541. Do it at the car with both galleries open on a phone, holding each photo up to the post you think it fits; a mismatch is far easier to see that way than from memory. While you're there, look along each post for dents or old repairs that could keep a cover from lying flat.
Both rows treat their years as one span, so the photo check is the same whichever year you have. Confirm your car is a four-door Century or Regal sedan in range. If you'd like help, Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811; give PP37540, the model and the year.
These covers are decorative only. Each rests over a post beside the side glass, and the doors, windows and seals keep doing their jobs. Grade 304 resists corrosion through its alloy rather than plating.
All four mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, bonding to the current paint or trim on the posts, Century or Regal alike. You won't drill or remove trim. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
The posts carry the tape, so check each one. A powdery film, a craze of fine cracks, an edge lifting, or old wax and polish all need sorting before fitting. Wash with car soap, rinse, let them dry fully, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one comes off clean.
For the Century, set out car soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, and have someone stand back to check the covers.
On a dry, calm day in shade, compare the four with the gallery and phone us about any bend or missing cover. The Century's photos make each cover's place clear. Liner on, offer each to its post, ease it until the reveal is even, and box it in with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover in the box, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Do the next one, then the last two.
If one won't sit flush, leave the liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, the covers wash with car soap and 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.
