Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017 Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP50160)
PP50160 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Chevrolet Equinox, listed for 2010-2017 and priced at $67.99. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. One fitment row appears in the record: Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Eight model years of the four-door Equinox are covered. PP50160 names the Equinox for 2010 through 2017. An Equinox from before 2010 or after 2017 isn't part of this record, so check with us first if that's yours, or if you'd like the fit confirmed.
A six-cover Equinox set, PP50161, is the only other listing linked to this one. Neither record names the posts or gives widths, and neither has notes. Put the two galleries next to each other and you'll see which posts the six-piece set covers beyond these four.
Plan the four placements at the SUV, gallery in hand, before you lift a liner. A shape that doesn't match any post is worth a call.
Quality Automotive Trims answers on 877-752-3811. Give us PP50160 and your model year, and we'll go through the four with you, or help you decide whether the six-cover set suits your Equinox better.
The covers change only the look of the posts beside the side windows. The Equinox's doors, glass and seals are untouched. 304 stainless gets its corrosion resistance from the alloy, so nothing is plated.
Fitting needs no drill and no trim removal. Each of the four mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the paint or trim already on its post. Temperatures and cure time are given on the Installation tab, so read it before choosing a day.
Spend your effort on the four posts. Strip off wax and polish, and repair any paint that's chalky, crazed or flaking, since that coat is what the tape holds. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry completely. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until a clean fold comes away clean, and feel for dents.
For four covers you won't need much: low-tack painter's tape and a soft pencil to number the posts and outline each cover, then rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and three or four clean lint-free cloths for the cleaning. Keep the photos open on your phone and the job flows from post to post.
Work on a still, dry day in shade. Compare the four with their photos and report any damage. Number each post on a tab of painter's tape. With the liner on, place the first cover, adjust until the reveal is even all round and tape its outline. Peel, set it back in the outline and press firmly along its face and both edges. Check it, then the next.
If any cover rocks or keeps one end up, stop and leave its liner on. Call 877-752-3811 and we'll sort out the next step with you. After the tape has cured, the four wash 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.
