Product Description
Pontiac Bonneville 2000-2005 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP40285)
For the Pontiac Bonneville sedan of 2000-2005, PP40285 is a set of four polished stainless pillar covers at $56.99. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
The listing is a simple one. Nothing is linked to it, and the record has no notes, doesn't identify the four posts and lists no widths. The count and the photos are what you have to work from. Before ordering, take the gallery out to your Bonneville and look along the car, pairing every shape with a post. You want each shape to have an obvious home, and those homes to be the posts you'd like dressed in polished steel. Holding each photo next to the post you think it fits makes a mismatch easy to see.
Six model years share the row with none singled out, so the same check applies whatever your year from 2000 to 2005. Bonnevilles dated 2000 to 2005 take PP40285. While you're beside the car, run a hand along each post: dents, ripples from old filler, or paint starting to lift can stop a flat cover from seating, and they're easier to sort out beforehand. If anything gives you pause, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP40285 and your year.
Once fitted, the covers change the look of the posts and nothing else. Each sits over a post next to the side glass; the Pontiac's doors, windows and seals are untouched. The 304 grade resists corrosion through its alloy, so there's no plated skin.
The four go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to whatever paint or trim the Bonneville's posts have now. No drill, no trim removal. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and the cure time.
Make each post ready for the tape. Take off wax and polish, and repair chalky, crazed or peeling finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding until a clean face shows no residue.
Have car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, some lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil ready. Someone standing at the nose or tail of the sedan can tell you if each cover looks even.
Pick a still, dry day out of the sun. Compare the four with the photos and phone us about anything bent or missing. With the liner on, set a cover against its post, adjust it until the gap is even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel the liner, lay the cover in the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover, compare the two, and then do the last two.
If one of the four rocks or lifts, keep its liner on and give us a call on 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash them with car soap as part of washing the Bonneville 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.
