Product Description
Buick Encore GX Pillar Trim, 4-Piece Polished Stainless, 2020-2026 (PP60540)
The Buick Encore GX gets a set of three pillar kits from QAA, and PP60540 is the entry point: four polished stainless steel pieces for the window pillars of the 4-door Encore GX, model years 2020 through 2026.
Choosing among three kits
QAA lists the Encore GX pillar trim in four, six, and eight pieces. This is the four-piece kit. PP60541 has six pieces and PP60542 has eight. The catalog gives the piece counts but does not describe which pillars each kit covers, so the listing photos are the best guide when you compare them. The four-piece kit makes sense if you prefer a light touch of brightness or want to keep installation quick.
What changes on the Encore GX
Pillar covers sit on the upright posts that frame the side windows. Bright stainless on those posts gives the small Buick crossover a sharper outline along the glass. It is purely cosmetic and goes on top of what is already there, so the original pillars stay untouched underneath.
Material notes
QAA makes these covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished mirror finish. Stainless is a solid metal throughout, which means the shine is not a thin layer that can lift or peel.
How installation works
For the Encore GX, the four covers are attached with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and laid onto the existing pillars. QAA states the tape holds for a lifetime on the Buick without harming its surface.
- Wash and dry each pillar, then remove wax or polish residue.
- Dry-fit each cover to confirm its position.
- Peel the liner and press the piece into place.
- Run your hand firmly along the full length to seat the tape.
Pick a mild day and work out of direct sunlight. The Installation tab has the complete procedure.
Who this kit suits
Owners who want a subtle upgrade, or who plan to start small and see how they like the look, usually begin with the smallest kit. Since all three kits are listed for the same Encore GX years, you can decide purely on how much of the window frame you want polished.
Building on it later
Starting with four pieces does not lock you in. If you decide later that you want more of the window frame in bright metal, QAA still lists the six and eight-piece kits for this Encore GX. Keep in mind that each kit is sold as a complete set, so it is usually simplest to decide on coverage first. Comparing the photos of all three listings first is the easiest way to make that call.
Fitment

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.
