Product Description
Cadillac Escalade 2002-2006 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP42255)
PP42255 is a four-cover polished stainless pillar post set for the Cadillac Escalade, 2002-2006. It costs $84.49, and the covers are made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. The record has one row: Cadillac Escalade 2002-2006, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Fit depends on the year and the body. Your paperwork should show an Escalade from 2002 through 2006 with the four-door SUV body the row names. If it shows something else, call us before buying; the listing doesn't stretch past that row.
Several other stainless trims are linked to this Escalade listing, each sold separately with its own fitment: DH42255 door handle covers, HT42255 hood accent, RT42255 tailgate accent, RW42255 rear window trim, rocker kits TH42255, TH42256 and TH42258, and SGB42255.
One thing to note about that list: TH42258 is tagged 4-door, EXT, not the SUV tag carried here. Read each linked page against your own vehicle and its paperwork rather than assuming they all match this one.
The pillar set itself has no notes, post names or widths. The gallery shows the four shapes; compare them with your Escalade's posts before you order. For a second opinion, Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811. Quote PP42255 and your year.
These covers are decoration for the posts beside the side windows. The Escalade's doors, glass and seals carry on exactly as normal, and nothing about how the SUV is used changes. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its makeup rather than any plated surface.
Mounting is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the posts' existing finish. There's no drilling on the Cadillac and nothing to unclip. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and cure time.
Because the bond is only as strong as the surface, clean thoroughly. Remove wax and polish; repair chalky, crazed or flaking paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, then wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, turning the cloth until a fresh face shows nothing. Look the posts over for dents too. A small dip that paint hides can show up clearly once a mirror-polished cover sits on top of it, so it pays to find it first.
Get car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil ready, and find someone to judge the alignment from a distance if you can.
Fit them out of the sun on a calm, dry day. Lay out the four by the gallery and call us about any damage or shortage. With the liner on, set one on the post its photo shows and adjust until the edge gap is even. Tape the outline, peel, place the cover in the outline and press firmly along its length and both sides. Check from a few feet away and against the photo, then do the next.
Should an Escalade cover stand off at an edge, keep the liner on and call 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash 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.
