Product Description
Saturn Ion Sedan 2005-2007 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP45410)
PP45410 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Saturn Ion sedan, listed for 2005-2007. It costs $56.99, and the covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. The fitment row reads Saturn Ion 2005-2007, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
The Ion has two four-cover pillar sets linked to each other, and the body tag is what separates them. This one is for the row tagged Sedan. PP45412, also four covers, is for the Ion row tagged 4-door, Quad Coupe. Check your records for the body name before ordering; if it reads Quad Coupe, look at PP45412 instead, and if you can't tell, give us a call.
For the sedan, there's also a six-cover pillar set, PP45411. None of these listings carry notes, post names or widths, so compare the galleries: count the four shapes here and the six there, and match each to a post on your Saturn. Order the set that covers the posts you'd like in polished steel.
The Ion sedan has a wide range of linked trims as well, each sold separately: SG45410, DH45410, GC45410, HD45410, LP45410, RD45410, SGR45410, SGR45411, TH45410 and TH45411.

All four covers are cosmetic. They sit over posts beside the side glass, and the doors, windows and weatherstrip keep working as they do now. Grade 304 stainless gets its corrosion resistance from the alloy, not a plated layer.
Each cover bonds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to the post's existing paint or trim, with no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Start with clean, sound posts. Remove wax and polish, and repair chalky, crazed or lifting paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, let dry fully, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, refolding until a clean section stays clean. Look for dents as you go, since a polished cover makes them easier to see.
Nothing specialised is needed for the Ion. Fill a bucket with car-soap water, and keep rubbing alcohol, a short stack of lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil within arm's reach. Better still, recruit someone to stand by the opposite curb and say "left a bit" or "looks good" as you hold each cover in place.
Choose a shaded, calm, dry day. Lay the four out with the gallery and contact us if one is bent or missing. Liner on, place a cover on the post its photo shows, adjust until the reveal is even, and frame it in painter's tape. Peel, settle it in the frame and press firmly along its length and both edges. Compare it with the photo and then fit the next.
If an Ion cover rocks or won't lie flush, keep the liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash the four with car soap and water 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.
