Product Description
Saturn Ion Quad Coupe 2005-2007 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP45412)
PP45412 is the four-cover pillar post set for the Saturn Ion listed as 4-door, Quad Coupe, model years 2005-2007. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the set costs $56.99. That single row, Saturn Ion 2005-2007 tagged 4-door, Quad Coupe, is the whole fitment.
The title just says "Fits 2005-2007 Saturn Ion," so the Quad Coupe tag is easy to overlook. It matters because the other linked Ion pillar sets, PP45410 with four covers and PP45411 with six, are for the row tagged Sedan. If your records show Quad Coupe, this is the set listed for it. If it shows Sedan, look at those two instead. If you're not sure, call before ordering.
Many other Ion trims link to this page, but note that they're tagged 4-door, Sedan, not Quad Coupe: SG45410, DH45410, GC45410, HD45410, LP45410, RD45410, SGR45410, SGR45411, TH45410 and TH45411. Check each one's own page before assuming it suits a Quad Coupe.
This listing carries no notes, post names or widths. The gallery shows the four shapes; hold each photo up to your Ion's posts and make sure they're the posts you'd like dressed.

The covers are trim for appearance. Each sits on a post beside the side glass, and the Saturn's doors, windows and weatherstrip work as they did before. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its alloy rather than any plating.
All four go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, bonding to whatever finish the posts have now. Nothing gets drilled and no trim is taken off. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Because the tape bonds to the surface layer, prepare it carefully. Strip off wax and polish. Repair paint that is chalky, crazed or lifting. Wash with car soap, rinse, let the posts dry thoroughly, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh face picks up nothing. Feel along each post for dents or old filler.
Line up car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil before you begin. A second pair of eyes a few steps away helps with alignment, particularly on the first cover.
Fit them in shade on a dry, calm day. Compare the four with the gallery, and contact us about anything bent or missing. Try a cover on the post its photo shows with the liner attached, shift it until the gap is even, and mark around it with painter's tape. Peel, place it inside the marks and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it from a step back before the next.
If a Quad Coupe cover won't settle flat, stop, keep the liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, a car-soap wash and a soft towel keep the four bright.

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.
