Product Description
Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001-2002 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP41700)
PP41700 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Chrysler PT Cruiser, model years 2001-2002, and it costs $56.99. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. The record's only row is the PT Cruiser 2001-2002, tagged 4-door, Hatchback.
Two years is a short span, so the year counts. If it reads 2001 or 2002 and the body is the four-door hatchback named in the row, this listing applies. If your PT Cruiser is from another year, or the paperwork describes a different body, call before ordering; the record doesn't cover it.
There's a six-cover sibling, PP41701, for the same row. Neither page gives notes, post names or widths. Look at both galleries, count the shapes, and hold them up against your Cruiser's posts. Buy the four here if their shapes match the posts you want in stainless; choose PP41701 if the six match better.
Questions about fit or the photos can go to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811. Mention PP41700 and your year. We're happy to compare the four-cover and six-cover galleries with you over the phone, so the choice is made with the car in front of you rather than from memory.
The covers are cosmetic only. Each sits on a post beside the side glass, and the doors, windows and seals carry on unchanged. The 304 stainless resists corrosion by virtue of its alloy, not a surface plating.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the existing finish, with no drilling and no trim removal on the Chrysler. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Prepare the four posts properly. Remove wax and polish, and repair any chalky, crazed or lifting paint first, because that layer is what the tape holds. Wash with car soap, rinse and let dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding each time until the cloth stays clean. Feel for dents or filler as you go. If you find one, it's best dealt with before the cover goes on, since polished stainless makes small dips easy to see.
On the bench: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a handful of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. Someone to stand back and judge alignment is useful, especially on the first cover, which sets the look for the rest.
Fit them in the shade on a still, dry day. Compare the four with the gallery, and if one is damaged or missing, phone us. Liner on, place a cover on the post its photo shows, adjust until the edge gap is even, and frame it with painter's tape. Remove the liner, set the cover inside the frame and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check from a step or two back, then move to the next.
If a PT Cruiser cover won't sit flush, stop, leave the liner attached and ring 877-752-3811. After curing, wash them 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.
