Product Description
Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 S&S Superior Hearse Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP53240)
PP53240 is a four-cover pillar set listed for the Cadillac XTS carrying the "S&S Superior Hearse" tag. The one fitment row reads Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 with that tag alone, and there's no sedan tag. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the set is $67.99.
The S&S Superior Hearse tag appears on three linked XTS sets, so this coach has a choice of counts: this one with four covers, PP53241 with six and PP53242 with eight. None of the three names its posts or gives widths, and the record can't say which posts the larger sets reach. Compare the three galleries side by side and then look at your own hearse before choosing. Counting the posts you can see on the coach, and matching them to the covers in each photo, is the most reliable way to decide.
Keep an eye on the wording, too. PP53220 carries "S&S Superior Limousine," a different tag and a different listing from these hearse sets. The standard XTS sedan sets, tagged 4-door, Sedan, are PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247, and more linked sets are tagged for Accubuilt, Federal and Eagle builds. All of the titles read "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS," which is why we point to the tag.

The covers are about appearance. Doors, windows and seals keep working exactly as they did, and the 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy rather than a plated finish.
Each of the four mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape set directly on the post's existing paint or trim. No drill, and no part of the hearse comes off. The Installation tab lists the tape's temperature range and how long it should cure before a wash.
Give the four posts a careful clean before fitting anything. First wash them with car-soap water, rinse and dry. Then strip old wax, sealant and polish, and repair any paint that's gone powdery, crazed or flaky, since the tape bonds to that coat. Last, wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until the cloth stays clean, and feel for dents.
Fit on a still, dry day with the hearse in shade. Check the four against their photos and let us know straight away about any damage. Dry-fit each one with the liner on, settle it until the border is even and mask its outline with low-tack painter's tape, numbering the masks in pencil. Then take them singly: pull the liner, place the cover in its mask and press firmly along its whole length and both edges. Peel the masking away at the end.
If one refuses to sit flat, keep the liner on and ring 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. After curing, car soap, water and a soft towel are all they 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.
