Product Description
Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan & VW Routan (PP48895)
PP48895 is a four-cover pillar post set for minivans, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, at $67.99. The title and the fitment record name the same three minivans, one row each: Chrysler Town & Country 2008-2016, Dodge Grand Caravan 2008-2020 and Volkswagen Routan 2009-2012. All three are tagged 4-door, Minivan.
Each make has its own years. A Town & Country is covered from 2008 to 2016, a Grand Caravan from 2008 to 2020, and a Routan from 2009 to 2012. Find the make, model and year, and check them against the matching row. If none matches, or you'd like it confirmed, call us before ordering.
Three minivans share this record, and the bigger sets do too. PP48896 holds six covers and PP48897 eight, both linked here for the same Town & Country, Grand Caravan and Routan rows. Not one of the three lists post names, widths or notes. Comparing the photo galleries, four against six against eight, is how you'll see how much of your van's side glass a set frames.
Before peeling, take the four photos out to the van on your phone and match each to its post. Any shape that doesn't line up is worth a call before you go further.

The covers are cosmetic. They sit on posts beside the side glass and leave the doors, windows and seals working as usual. 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own alloy, with no plating.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing paint or trim on its post. No drilling is needed and no trim comes off the minivan. The Installation tab gives the working temperatures and cure time.
A good bond depends on the post's surface. Strip wax and polish from all four, and repair any chalking, crazed or flaking paint first. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, folding to a clean face until it comes away clean, and run a finger along it for dents.
You'll want low-tack painter's tape, a soft pencil, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a handful of lint-free cloths. A step stool helps you see the upper end of each post squarely.
Wait for a dry, still day and park in shade. Compare the four with their photos and let us know about any damage. Number the posts on painter's tape. With the liner on, place the first cover, adjust until the margin is even and tape round it. Peel, return it to the outline and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Check it before starting the next.
If a cover rocks or one end won't touch the post, keep the liner on and ring 877-752-3811. When the tape has cured, the four clean up with car soap and water and 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.
