Product Description
Oldsmobile Aurora 2001-2004 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP41430)
For an Oldsmobile Aurora sedan from 2001-2004, PP41430 is the smaller of two polished stainless pillar sets. It has four covers, costs $56.99, and is made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. The listing has one fitment row: Oldsmobile Aurora, 2001-2004, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
The larger option is PP41431, with six covers for the same Aurora row. Neither page carries notes, post names or widths, so you'll be choosing by eye. Pull up both galleries, count the shapes, and compare them with the posts on your Aurora. Whichever set's shapes cover the posts you have in mind is the one to order.
Fit comes down to the model year and the body. Your records should show an Aurora from 2001 through 2004 and a four-door sedan. If it shows anything else, or you'd like someone to look at the photos with you, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and give us PP41430 and your year. We can talk through the four shapes one at a time and say which posts the photos show them on.
The covers are trim, nothing more. Each one rests over a post next to a side window, and the Oldsmobile's doors, glass and seals carry on as usual. Grade 304 stainless keeps corrosion at bay through its makeup instead of a plating.
They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly onto the posts' current finish. There's no drilling and no trim to take off. The Installation tab tells you the temperature range to work in and how long to let the tape cure before washing.
The tape is only as reliable as what it sits on. Strip any wax or polish from the four posts and deal with chalky, crazed or flaking paint before starting. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, then clean each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh fold stays white. A quick look for dents or past bodywork is worth doing at the same time.
Tools are simple. Set out car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for marking. If a friend is around, ask them to stand by the Aurora's front wheel and tell you when each cover looks square.
Pick a shaded, dry and windless spot. Set the four out next to the gallery to check their condition and count, and ring us if something's wrong. Hold the first cover to the post its photo shows, liner still on, and move it until the margin is the same all round. Mark it with painter's tape, peel the liner, place the cover within the tape and press firmly from one end to the other and along both edges. Look again from a short distance, then carry on with the next cover.
Don't press down a cover that won't lie flat. Keep the liner on and phone 877-752-3811 so we can help sort it out. Once the tape has cured, wash the Aurora's covers with car soap and dry them 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.
