Product Description
Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan 2004-2008 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP44280)
PP44280 fits four polished stainless covers to the pillar posts of a 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix sedan. The set is $56.99 and made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. Its fitment row reads Pontiac Grand Prix 2004-2008, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Five model years and the four-door sedan body make up the whole fitment. Grand Prix models of 2004 through 2008 are tagged. A Grand Prix from those years with that body matches the listing; anything else isn't covered, and we'd rather you call than guess.
The only linked part is PP44281, a six-cover pillar set for the same row. Neither listing includes notes, post names or widths, so compare their galleries. Count the shapes in each, walk the length of your Pontiac and match each shape to a post. If the four here cover the posts you have in mind, this is the set to order; if you'd like six, choose PP44281.
Unsure which way to go? Phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and mention PP44280 along with the Grand Prix's year. Together we can hold the four-cover and six-cover photos up against what you describe on your car and work out which set suits the posts you want covered.
The covers are cosmetic. Each lies on a post beside the side glass, and the Grand Prix's doors, windows and seals work as they always have. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its alloy, with no plated layer that could wear away.
They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, bonding directly to the paint or trim the posts have now. You won't drill or remove anything. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and how long the tape should cure.
Spend a few minutes on each post, because the bond depends on it. Remove wax and polish, and repair chalky, crazed or lifting paint before you start. Wash with car soap, rinse, let the posts dry thoroughly, then wipe them with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding until a fresh face comes up clean. Check for dents or old repairs at the same time, since a polished cover makes them easier to see.
Have ready car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a few lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A friend standing a few steps back from the sedan can confirm each cover looks straight.
On a calm, dry day in the shade, lay the four next to the gallery and call us if any is bent or missing. With the liner on, set a cover on the post its photo shows, adjust it until the gap is even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel the liner, place the cover in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Look it over from a short distance, then fit the next.
If a Grand Prix cover rocks or won't close up at an edge, keep the liner on and ring 877-752-3811 before pressing further. After the cure, car soap, water and a soft towel are all the care the four 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.
