Product Description
Buick Park Avenue 1997-2005 Pillar Post Trim, Four Stainless Covers (PP37580)
Four polished stainless covers, priced at $56.99, make up PP37580, a pillar post set for the Buick Park Avenue built in the 1997-2005 model years. The listing's single row is tagged 4-door, Sedan, and the steel is 26 gauge type 304, polished and made in the USA. It's one of two linked pillar sets for this car, so the comparison below is worth a minute.
Three Park Avenue listings are linked from this page. PP37581 is the six-cover pillar set for the same years. DH37580 is a four-piece door handle accent set, and WZ37580 is a six-piece wheel well fender trim molding. The last two are different parts altogether, each on its own page, and neither comes with these covers.
Comparing the two pillar sets comes down to the photos. Neither listing has notes, post names or widths, so open both galleries, count four shapes here and six there, and walk along your Park Avenue to see which posts each shape would cover. If the four do what you want, order this page. If you'd rather have the coverage the six-cover gallery shows, PP37581 is the one.
The row spans nine model years without a break, so the same photo check applies to any of them. For the four Park Avenue covers, the car has to date from 1997 to 2005. If you're unsure about any shape, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP37580 and your year.
The covers are for appearance. Each lies over a post beside the side glass; the Buick's doors, windows and seals are left untouched. Grade 304 resists corrosion through the alloy, not a plated surface.
All four mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to the paint or trim on the posts now. No holes are drilled, and no trim comes off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Look closely at the four posts in good light. A chalky bloom, fine crazing, a lifting edge, or old wax or polish should be dealt with before fitting, because the tape grips the surface and nothing else. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, and finish each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one stays clean.
You'll want car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a few cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper is useful for checking that each cover lines up.
Pick a dry, windless day and a shaded spot. Compare the four with the gallery and phone us about anything bent or missing. Liner on, hold each cover to its post, slide it until the gap is even, and frame it in painter's tape. Peel the liner, seat the cover in its frame, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit one more Park Avenue cover, then the final two.
If a Park Avenue cover won't sit flat, keep the liner attached and ring 877-752-3811 before going on. When the cure time is over, wash the four with car soap whenever you wash the car, and dry them 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.
