Product Description
Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon & Silverado Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP40198)
PP40198's title and fitment record list four vehicles: the Chevrolet Suburban 2000-2006, the Chevrolet Tahoe 2000-2006, the GMC Yukon 2000-2006 and the Chevrolet Silverado 2001-2006. Every row carries the same tags, 4-door, SUV, Pickup Truck and Crew Cab, so the Silverado's later start year is the main difference. The set is four polished stainless pillar covers for $84.49, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless.
The tags need a careful read. Every one of the four rows carries the same combined list: 4-door, SUV, Pickup Truck, Crew Cab. So the Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon rows are tagged Pickup Truck and Crew Cab, and the Silverado row is tagged SUV. The record doesn't explain this, and it doesn't say which cab or body each row is really meant for. What the rows do agree on is the four-door tag; the Silverado's span also starts a year later than the other three.
Because of that mixed tagging, please confirm the fit before you order, especially for a Silverado. Call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP40198, your model, body and year.
No other listing is linked, and the record has no notes, post names or widths. The gallery shows the four shapes. Hold them up against your own vehicle's posts and check that each has a clear home, looking along every post for dents or old repairs as you go.
Fitted, the four covers are there for looks. They rest over posts beside the side windows, leaving the doors, glass and weatherstrip of the Chevrolet or GMC to work as normal, and the 304 grade fends off corrosion by its own alloy, with no plating involved.
All four mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to the posts' existing paint or trim, whichever of the four vehicles you have. No drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Prepare the four posts properly. Strip wax and dressing, and repair chalky, crazed or lifting finish, since the tape holds directly to it. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, using a fresh face until it shows no residue.
Collect car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good handful of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. Ask someone to stand away from the vehicle and tell you whether the covers match.
Work on a still, dry day in shade. Check the four against the photos and phone us about anything bent or missing. With the liner on, set each cover to its post, adjust it until the gap is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, lower it into the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the next one, then the last two.
Should a cover rock or stay high at one end, stop there with the liner still attached and phone us on 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, the four get the same car-soap wash as the paint, followed by 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.
