Product Description
Chevrolet Traverse Pillar Post Trim, 2018-2023, 4-Piece Stainless (PP58165)
The Chevrolet Traverse is a three-row family SUV with a long side profile, and its window pillars are a natural place for some polish. PP58165 is QAA's four-piece pillar post kit for the 4-door Traverse, listed for model years 2018 through 2023.
Choosing between two kits
QAA catalogs two pillar kits for this Traverse: PP58165 with four pieces and PP58166 with six. Neither has a coverage note in the catalog, so the data does not specify which pillar each piece fits or what the larger kit includes. The photos on each listing show the layout. Four pieces gives a tidy accent; six puts more steel along the windows.
Pillars on a three-row SUV
This SUV has several pillars between its windows, and each one is a place for a bright accent. Polished covers break that band into framed openings and make the vehicle look more tailored. It is a cosmetic upgrade only; the original pillars remain underneath.
Each Traverse kit is a complete set on its own. If you think you could eventually want the fuller look, call now to compare both kits rather than buying twice. The four-piece kit is the right pick when a subtle accent is the goal.
Material
QAA makes these covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. Solid stainless has no plating, so the shine will not flake off.
Installation
The four Traverse pieces go directly over the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and nothing is taken off. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Prep is straightforward. Wash and dry the pillars, wipe off any wax, and dry-fit each piece. Peel the liner and press firmly along the full length. Step back to check the alignment before moving on. The Installation tab lists every step.
A good first project
If you have never installed tape-on trim, a four-piece kit is a forgiving place to start. There are fewer pieces to align, and the whole job fits comfortably into a short session in the driveway.
Owners of a Traverse often use it as the family hauler, so it sees plenty of washing and weather. The tape-on design means you never compromise the body with screw holes, and the steel cleans up with the same soap and water you use on the paint.
Fitment
Listed for the Chevrolet Traverse 4-door SUV, 2018 through 2023. The Fitment tab shows the exact application as cataloged. Confirm your year before ordering.

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.
