Product Description
Dodge Stratus Sedan 2001-2006 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP42905)
PP42905 dresses the pillar posts of a 2001-2006 Dodge Stratus sedan with four polished stainless covers. The set is $56.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless, and its single fitment row reads Dodge Stratus 2001-2006, 4-door, Sedan.
Before anything else, look at the body on your paperwork. This row names only the four-door sedan, so a Stratus registered as another body isn't part of the listing. The year has to sit between 2001 and 2006 too. When either detail is in doubt, a quick call to us beats guessing.
Two other stainless parts are linked to this Stratus row. PP42906 is a six-cover pillar set, the larger alternative to this one, and DH42905 is a door handle accent trim sold on its own page. Neither is included here.
To choose between four and six pillar covers, use the galleries; there are no notes, post names or widths on either listing. Count the shapes in each, walk around the Dodge, and see which set lines up with the posts you'd like covered. Order this page for the four, PP42906 for the six.
Quality Automotive Trims is reachable on 877-752-3811. Quote PP42905 and your year and we'll look at the gallery with you and help you decide between four covers and six.
The covers are decorative. They lie over the posts by the side windows, and the Stratus's doors, glass and seals go on working just as they do now. The 304 alloy resists corrosion in its own right, without plating.
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape attaches each cover to the post's existing surface. No drilling, no trim removal. The Installation tab tells you the temperature range and how long the tape takes to cure.
Because the tape sticks to the topmost layer, that layer has to be clean and firm. Remove wax and polish. Repair chalky, crazed or lifting paint. Wash the posts with car soap, rinse, let them dry thoroughly, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding until a clean section comes up clean. Feel for dents along the way.
Have car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a few lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil ready. A helper standing back can confirm each cover looks straight.
Work in shade on a dry, still day. Lay out the four with the gallery and tell us if any is bent or missing. Holding a cover to the post its photo shows, liner on, slide it until the margin is even, then box it in with painter's tape. Peel the liner, place the cover in the box and press firmly along its length and both edges. Compare it with the photo from a step back and, once you're happy, move on to the next cover.
If a Stratus cover won't lie flat, leave the liner on and call 877-752-3811. Once the cure is complete, car soap, water and a soft towel are all they need.

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.
