Product Description
Cadillac Seville 1998-2004 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Covers (PP38236)
For a Cadillac Seville from the 1998-2004 run, PP38236 supplies four pillar covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. They sell as a set for $56.99, and the fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
Two Seville listings are linked. PP38237 is the six-cover pillar set for the same years and body. LP38236 is a one-piece license plate bezel, a separate part with its own page, and not included here.
The two pillar sets differ in count, and that's all the listings say. Neither names its posts or gives notes or widths, so compare the galleries. Count the four shapes here and the six there, and match them against the posts on your Seville. If the four cover what you'd like polished, order this page. If the six-cover photos show what you want, order PP38237. It's worth doing that comparison at the car, holding each photo beside the post you think it fits. A shape that doesn't belong stands out quickly that way, and you can check each post for dents or patched areas while you're there.
The row covers seven model years as one span. The listing doesn't divide them or mention any version of the Seville beyond the four-door sedan, so read it narrowly: a four-door Seville sedan from 1998 to 2004. If your paperwork shows something else, or you're unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP38236 and your year.
These covers are cosmetic. Each sits over a post beside the glass, and the Cadillac's doors, windows and seals work as before. The 304 grade resists corrosion through its alloy rather than a coating.
The four mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, bonding to the paint or trim on the Seville's posts. There's no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Prepare each post before the day. Old wax or polish should come off, and chalky, crazed or lifting finish should be repaired, because the tape holds to the surface it's pressed on. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth comes up clean.
Supplies: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil. A friend a few steps from the Seville can say whether the covers match.
Choose a calm, dry day in shade. Lay the four next to the gallery and call us if anything is bent or missing. Check the Seville covers against the product photos. Liner on, hold each cover to its post, adjust until the reveal is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, place the cover in the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Put on the third cover, then do the remaining pair.
If a cover sits proud at either end, leave the liner on and give us a ring on 877-752-3811. Once the cure is complete, the four Seville 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.
