Product Description
Buick Regal 2011-2017 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP51575)
PP51575 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Buick Regal sedan, at $56.99. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The record shows one fitment row, Buick Regal 2011-2017, tagged 4-door, Sedan, which spans seven model years of the Regal.
There's one larger pillar set linked to it: PP51576, with six covers on the same row. The record doesn't name the posts either set covers, and it gives no widths, so it can't tell you on paper where the two further covers in the six-piece set would go. The galleries can. Open both, then stand beside your Regal and count the posts you'd like to dress before choosing.
The same record links a few other Regal pieces, each sold separately: GC51575, a gas door cover trim; TH51575, an eight-piece lower rocker panel kit; and TH51576, a two-piece rocker panel trim noted "Installs below the door." None of them ships with these four covers, and their details are on their own pages.
The Regal row spans 2011 to 2017. If your Regal was built outside 2011 to 2017, this row doesn't cover it. Questions about the year, or which set to pick, go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811; quote PP51575 and we'll look at the record with you.
Fitting these is a cosmetic change only. They sit over the posts by the side glass, and the doors, windows and weatherstrip carry on working as they did. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own alloy, so there's no plating on the surface to wear away.
Each of the four mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the post's existing paint or trim. Nothing gets drilled and no trim is pried off the Buick. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range for the tape and the cure time, so read it before you set a date.
Prep matters more than anything else here. Wash the four posts with car-soap water, rinse and dry. Remove all wax and polish. If the paint is chalky, crazed or flaking anywhere a cover will sit, repair it first, because that coat is what the tape holds to. Wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, refolding to a clean face until nothing comes off, then run a fingertip along to feel for dents.
On the day, work in shade with no wind and dry weather. Keep low-tack painter's tape and a pencil to hand. Unpack the four, compare them with the photos and let us know right away about any damage. Decide which post each belongs to and mark a number on tape there. With the liner still on, set the first cover in place, slide it until the reveal is even and outline it in tape. Peel the liner, put the cover back inside the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it before starting the next.
If a cover won't settle flat, stop, leave the liner on and call 877-752-3811. After the tape cures, 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.
