Product Description
Cadillac CT6 Pillar Post Trim, 4-Piece Polished Stainless for 2016-2020 Sedans (PP56230)
QAA lists the Cadillac CT6 as a 4-door sedan from 2016 to 2020, and its window line is one of the most visible parts of the car. QAA's PP56230 dresses its pillar posts with four pieces of polished stainless steel. It is the smaller of two pillar kits QAA catalogs for the CT6 and is listed for all five model years.
A bright frame for a big sedan
Along the side of the CT6, the pillars between the windows break the glass into sections. Those pillars are what this kit covers. Covering them in polished steel gives each opening a bright border, and it changes the look of the side without changing anything structural.
Four pieces or six
The other CT6 pillar kit is PP56231, with six pieces. QAA's catalog separates the two by piece count and does not describe exactly which posts each piece covers. Compare the photos on both listings to see the difference. The four-piece kit is the more restrained of the two, and it is a little quicker to install. The six-piece kit finishes more of the window frame in steel.
Material and finish
QAA makes the pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror shine. The brightness belongs to the steel itself, not a chrome layer on plastic, so the finish is consistent across every piece.
Mounting
Every piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing pillar surface. No factory trim comes off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. Prepare the pillars with a wash and a careful dry, wipe them down, and dry-fit each piece before peeling the liner. The Installation tab covers the order of work.
Other QAA trim for the CT6
QAA catalogs several more parts for this sedan. There is an 8-piece lower rocker panel kit (TH56230) with a 3.125 to 3.875 inch span measured up from the bottom of the door. There are two wheel well accent kits: WQ56230, a 4-piece set cut to fit with that rocker kit, and WQ56231, a 6-piece set cut full length with the rear pieces segmented into two. Rounding it out are a gas door cover (GC56230) and a rear window trim (RW56230) with a parallel span to the top edge.
Fitment
This kit is listed for the Cadillac CT6 4-door sedan, model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as QAA records it.
Specs and support
Part number PP56230 carries UPC 691821406579. Both are on the Specs tab with the material and piece count. If you would like help choosing between the four- and six-piece kits, or pairing them with the rocker and wheel well trim, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
If you are new to this kind of upgrade, the four-piece kit is a low-commitment way to start. It changes how the side of the car reads without covering every surface,.

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.
