Product Description
Chevrolet Volt Hatchback Pillar Post Trim, 4 Stainless Pieces, 2016-2019 (PP56130)
The 2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt is a 4-door hatchback with a long, sloping roof, and its pillar posts are a defining part of the side view. PP56130 is QAA's four-piece pillar trim kit for that car, cut from polished stainless steel and listed for all four model years of that run.
Your three Volt choices
QAA catalogs three pillar kits for this Volt: PP56130 with four pieces, PP56131 with six, and PP56132 with eight. The catalog data distinguishes them only by piece count. It does not list which pillar each piece covers, so compare the listing photos to see how far the steel extends in each one. The four-piece kit is the lightest touch of the three, a clean accent that keeps the job short.
Why pillars stand out on a hatchback
Pillars are the vertical supports between and beside the windows. On the Volt hatchback, the pillars outline the side glass, so covering them traces the shape of every opening. Polished steel makes that outline crisp and bright, especially against darker paint colors.
Material
QAA makes these pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. Solid stainless means the shine is not a coating, and the color stays consistent with other QAA stainless trim on the car.
How it installs
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The trim installs directly over the existing pillar surface, so no factory parts come off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. Good prep is what makes the difference: wash the pillars, dry them, wipe them clean, and dry-fit every piece before removing any liner. The Installation tab lays out the order.
Fitment
This kit is listed for the Chevrolet Volt 4-door hatchback in model years 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. No other body is listed. Check the Fitment tab against your car before ordering; it shows the application exactly as QAA catalogs it.
Reference and support
The Specs tab lists part number PP56130, UPC 691821490165, the material, and the piece count. The FAQ tab answers common questions about installation and fit.

Tell us how much of the window frame you want covered, and we will point you to the right set.
If you like a subtle look, this is the kit to start with. It changes the Volt's side profile without covering every surface, and it is the simplest of the three to put on.
A few practical tips. Tape adhesives bond best when the panel is clean and at a comfortable temperature, so avoid installing on a panel that has been baking in direct sun. Hold each Volt cover to its pillar with the liner still on, and only press once the reveal looks even. Once all four pieces are on, wipe the polished faces with a soft, clean cloth to take off fingerprints, and step back to see that every outline sits square to the glass.

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.
