Product Description
Buick Enclave 2008-2017 Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP48530)
Four polished stainless pillar post covers for the Buick Enclave are what PP48530 delivers. The listing spans 2008-2017 and the set is $67.99. The steel is 26 gauge 304, made in the USA. On the fitment record there's one row: Buick Enclave 2008-2017, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Ten model years of the four-door Enclave are included. PP48530 lists the Enclave across 2008 to 2017. An Enclave from outside that span isn't in this record; if that's your situation, or you can't confirm, call us before ordering.
Two bigger Enclave sets are linked to this one: PP48531 with six covers and PP48532 with eight. Nothing in any of the three records names the posts or gives widths, and none has notes. Putting the galleries next to each other is how you'll see what the six and eight cover that these four don't.
GC48530, a single gas door cover, is the other Enclave trim linked here. Check its tags on its own page.
Before you peel anything, stand next to the Enclave with the four photos on your phone and pick the post each one belongs to.

Think of the covers as jewellery for the posts by the side windows. Doors, glass and weatherseals work exactly as they do now. The 304 alloy itself resists corrosion, so no plating is applied.
Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the paint or trim already on the post. The Buick isn't drilled and keeps all its trim in place. Look at the Installation tab for the temperature range and the cure time before choosing a day.
Spend most of your time on the posts. Remove wax and polish completely, and repair paint that's chalky, crazed or flaking, because the tape bonds to that coat and can't do better than it. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry. Then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding to a clean face until it wipes clean, and feel for dents.
The kit is short: low-tack painter's tape, a soft pencil, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a few lint-free cloths. A step stool helps you see the top of each post squarely.
Work on a calm, dry day out of the sun. Lay the four next to the gallery and contact us about any damage. Number each post on a tab of tape. With the liner still in place, set the first cover on its post, adjust until the reveal is even and run tape round it. Peel, return it to the taped outline and press firmly from one end to the other and along both edges. Check it, then do the next.
A cover that bridges its post or rocks under a fingertip is a cue to stop. Leave the liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, a car-soap wash and a soft towel are all 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.
