Product Description
Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback 2017-2019 Pillar Trim, 4-Piece Stainless Starter Kit (PP57800)
QAA catalogs more pillar post options for the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback than for almost any other car: seven kits, running from four pieces up to sixteen. PP57800 is where that ladder starts. It is a four-piece set of polished stainless steel covers for the 4-door Cruze hatchback, listed for model years 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Hatchback only
This kit is listed for the Cruze hatchback body style. The data lists the hatchback body only, so be sure you have the five-door body before ordering. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as QAA records it.
Where four pieces fits in the lineup
The larger Cruze hatchback kits are described by what they include. PP57802 (eight pieces) includes two rear pillar pieces. PP57803 (ten) includes the rear triangle. PP57804 (twelve) includes one front piece. PP57805 (fourteen) has two front pieces, and PP57806 (sixteen) also includes the front triangle pieces. This four-piece kit, like the six-piece PP57801, carries no coverage note, so it does not include those rear pillar, triangle, or front pieces as described for the bigger kits. The catalog does not detail exactly where its four pieces sit, so check the photos.
The appeal of a small kit
Not everyone wants the whole window line wrapped in steel. Four pieces brighten the pillars between the side windows and leave the rest of the hatchback's look alone. It is a modest, tasteful accent, and it is the quickest of the seven Cruze kits to install.
Material
QAA makes these covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. It is solid stainless, so the shine is part of the metal rather than a surface coating.
How it goes on
The four Cruze hatchback pieces go directly over the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and nothing comes apart. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Start with a clean, dry car. Wipe the pillars to remove wax, hold each piece up to check the fit, then peel the liner and press it on firmly from end to end. The Installation tab lists the steps in order.
A word on pillars
Pillars are the upright body sections that frame the side windows and hold up the roof. On many compact cars they are finished in black, which lets them fade into the glass. A thin polished cover over each one outlines the windows and gives a small hatchback a more upscale, finished side profile without any permanent change to the car.
Other Cruze hatchback trim
QAA also catalogs body side molding accents, a rear deck accent, a gas door cover, and wheel well trim for the same hatchback, each sold separately.

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.
