Product Description
Buick LeSabre 2000-2005 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Covers (PP40565)
PP40565 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Buick LeSabre sedan of 2000-2005, at $56.99. Its covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Two LeSabre listings are linked. PP40566 is the six-cover pillar set for the same years and body. WZ40565 is a wheel well fender trim molding noted "Short Style," a separate part on its own page that isn't included with either pillar set.
Choosing between the four- and six-cover sets is a matter of looking. Neither record has notes, names its posts or gives widths, so open the two galleries and count: four shapes here, six there. Then go along your LeSabre and match the shapes to its posts. If these four cover what you want in polished steel, order this page. If the six-cover photos suit your plan better, PP40566 is the one. Hold each photo up next to the post you think it fits instead of working from memory; a shape that doesn't belong shows up quickly that way.
The row runs six years as one span, so the check doesn't change with the year. Confirm your records show a four-door LeSabre sedan from 2000 to 2005. If you'd like a hand with the galleries, Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811; mention PP40565 and your year.
The covers are for appearance. Each one sits over a post beside the side glass, and the Buick's doors, windows and seals keep doing their jobs. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its makeup rather than plating.
Four covers, each mounting with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape that adheres to the posts' existing finish. The sedan isn't drilled and keeps every piece of its trim. See the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
Inspect the four posts in good daylight before fitting. Any chalky haze, crazing, an edge that's lifting, or a film of wax or polish needs attention first, since the tape bonds to that surface. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth shows nothing. Check for dents or old repairs on the posts too.
For the LeSabre, put together car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a few lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, and if possible a helper to compare the covers.
Fit them on a dry, calm day in the shade. Lay the four next to the gallery and call us about any bent or missing cover. Liner on, hold a cover to its post, slide it until the margin is even, and run painter's tape around it. Peel the liner, place the cover inside the tape, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Do the next cover, then the last two.
Should a cover lift or rock, stop with the liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the tape has cured, the four wash with car soap like the Buick's paint 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.
