Product Description
Chevrolet Traverse 2009-2017 Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP49165)
PP49165 brings four polished stainless covers to the pillar posts of the Chevrolet Traverse. It's listed for 2009-2017 at $67.99, with every cover cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA. The record has a single fitment row: Chevrolet Traverse 2009-2017, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Your Traverse. Nine model years of the four-door SUV are included. Find the Traverse's year; 2009 to 2017 are listed. If it's outside 2009 to 2017, or you'd like a second opinion, call us before you order.
Four or six. The linked PP49166 is a six-cover Traverse set. Neither record names posts, gives widths or carries notes. The galleries, side by side, show which posts the six-piece reaches beyond these four.
Rocker inserts with logo notes. Three linked rocker panel insert kits read differently. TH49165 is noted "Cut short on molding, to allow fitment for "GM & TRAVERSE" logo," TH49166 "Cut long on molding, to allow fitment for "GM" logo," and TH49167 "Cut Long, No "GM" Logo, No "TRAVERSE"." If you're ordering one, match its note to your side molding. Wheel well pieces WQ49165 and WZ49165 and the gas door cover GC49166 are linked as well.
Match first. With the photos open at the SUV, hold each of the four up to its post and decide every placement before a liner is lifted.

Cosmetic. The four dress the posts by the side glass, leaving the doors, windows and seals untouched. 304 stainless keeps corrosion at bay through its alloy, with no plated finish.
Mounting. Fitting these is a tape job, not a tool job. Each of the four mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the finish already on the Traverse post, so the body stays undrilled and no trim is removed. Temperature limits and the cure period live on the Installation tab.
Getting the posts ready. Most of the work happens before the first cover goes near the SUV. Strip every trace of wax and polish from the four posts and deal with any paint that's chalky, crazed or flaking, since that's what the tape will be holding. A car-soap wash, a rinse and a full dry follow. Last, go over each with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, turning to a clean face each pass, and feel for dents.
Kit. Low-tack painter's tape, a soft pencil, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a few lint-free cloths, plus a step stool for a square view of the upper ends.
Fitting. A calm, dry day in shade. Check the four against the gallery and report any damage. Number the posts on painter's tape. Liner on, set the first cover in place, adjust until the reveal is even and outline it with tape. Peel, set it within the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it, then fit the next.
If a cover stands proud. Where an end won't come down or the piece rocks, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. 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.
