Product Description
Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 Federal Hearse Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP53243)
PP53243 puts four polished stainless covers on the pillar posts of an XTS hearse. Its fitment row reads Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 and carries one tag, "Federal Hearse," with no sedan tag beside it. The set is $56.99, and the covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA.
Federal Hearse is shared by two linked sets: this four-cover one and PP53244 with six. Neither names its posts or lists widths, so compare the two galleries, then count the posts on your own coach that you'd like covered. A third Federal set, PP53237, is tagged "Federal Heritage Hearse," which is worded differently and kept as its own listing. If your documents say Federal without the model name, ring us before you order.
Standard XTS sedans have their own sets, PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247, tagged 4-door, Sedan. Accubuilt, Eagle and S&S Superior coaches have separately linked sets too. Because every one of these titles reads "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS," the tag is the thing to check. It's easy to pick the wrong set from a title, so a minute spent matching the tag to your paperwork saves trouble later.
Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811. Give us PP53243, the model year and the coach description from your documents, and we'll compare it with the record and the gallery photos while you're on the line, so you can order knowing it's the right set.
These four change the look of the posts only. Doors, glass and weatherstrip work as before. The 304 alloy resists corrosion by itself, so there's no plated surface to fail.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on top of the post's current paint or trim. You won't drill a hole, and nothing comes off the hearse. Check the Installation tab for the temperatures to work in and the cure time.
The posts need to be properly clean before any liner comes off. Wash the four with car-soap water, rinse and let them dry. Remove wax, sealant and polish, and fix any paint that's chalky, crazed or flaking, because the tape bonds to that coat and nothing deeper. Degrease with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth until fresh cloth stays clean, then run a fingertip along each post for dents.
A calm, dry day in shade suits the tape best. Compare the covers with their photos and tell us right away about any damage. Dry-fit each with the liner still on, adjust until the border is even and mask its outline with low-tack painter's tape, writing a number on each mask. Then one at a time, peel the liner, set the cover in its mask and press it firmly from end to end and along both edges. Lift the masks once all four are down, then step back and check each border.
If one won't lie flat, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811. After curing, a car-soap wash and a soft towel keep the four looking right.

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.
