Product Description
Pontiac Grand Am 1999-2005 Coupe Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP39273)
PP39273 is the coupe set among the linked Grand Am pillar listings: four polished stainless covers for the Pontiac Grand Am, 1999-2005, with the fitment row tagged 2-door, Coupe. It costs $56.99, and the covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Body style is the first thing to settle. The two other linked pillar sets, PP39275 with four covers and PP39276 with six, are both tagged 4-door, Sedan. They're listed for the other Grand Am body, not as alternatives for a coupe. So if your records show the two-door coupe, this is the pillar listing for it; if it shows the sedan, look at those two pages instead.
The coupe record has no notes, names no posts and gives no widths. The four shapes in the gallery are the guide to placement. Take the photos out to your Grand Am and match each shape to a post, front to back. If all four have a clear home and those are the posts you want polished, the set suits your car. If one doesn't, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP39273 with your year.
The row runs seven model years without dividing them, so the photo check is the same for any year in range. Check the posts themselves while you're at the car: a dent or patched area can stop a flat cover from bedding down.
The covers are decorative. Each one rests over a post beside the side glass, and the Pontiac's doors, windows and seals are left as they are. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy, not plating.
The coupe's four covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to the posts' existing paint or trim. There's no drilling and no trim to take off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time to plan around.
Prepare each of the four posts, since the tape bonds to the surface and nothing beneath it. Remove wax and polish, and repair any chalky, crazed or lifting finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding to a clean face until it comes away unmarked.
You'll want car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, some lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper can watch from the front of the coupe to see whether the covers match.
Pick a dry, windless day in shade. Check the four against the photos and ring us about any bent or missing cover. Liner on, offer each cover to its post, ease it until the reveal is even, and run painter's tape around it. Lift the liner, set the cover inside the tape, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Do the third Grand Am cover, then finish the other two.
If a cover rocks at an end, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, the coupe's 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.
