Product Description
Cadillac Escalade IQ and IQL 2025-2026 Stainless Pillar Trim, 4-Piece (PP65230)
Cadillac's electric Escalade comes in IQ and IQL versions, and QAA's PP65230 is listed for both. This four-piece kit of polished stainless steel pillar covers fits the 4-door Escalade IQ and IQL SUV for model years 2025 and 2026.
A small kit for a big vehicle
Four pieces is a measured amount of brightwork. It gives the window line a defined stainless edge without turning the side of the Escalade into a wall of mirror finish. The catalog does not specify which pillars these four covers dress, so look over the listing photos to see where the pieces sit.
Note on the fitment
This listing names both the IQ and the IQL. QAA also catalogs a separate six-piece pillar kit, but that one is listed for the Escalade IQ alone. If you drive an IQL and are weighing kits, keep that in mind, and call us if you would like to talk it through.
Matching pieces from the same lineup
QAA links several other Escalade IQ and IQL accessories to this kit, each a single piece:
- GC65230, charging port cover trim
- LP65230, license plate bezel
- RT65230, tailgate accent
- LB65230, license bar trim
Pairing pillar trim with one of these accents carries the trim from the side of the vehicle to the rear; check each listing for its finish.
Material and finish
Every cover is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a reflective finish. It is solid steel, so there is no plating layer to wear off.
Installation in brief
No panel removal. The covers mount over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. Clean and dry each pillar, remove wax, dry-fit for alignment, then peel and press firmly. A dry day with moderate temperatures gives the tape its best start, and it is wise to skip washing for a few days. The Installation tab has the details.
Care
Mild soap, plenty of water, and a soft towel. Rinse first so any grit lifts away before you touch the polished faces, and dry the covers afterward to keep the reflection clear.
Is four the right number?
On a vehicle the size of the Escalade IQ, some owners prefer a restrained touch that complements the paint rather than competing with it. Four covers provide exactly that. If you want more stainless, look at QAA's six-piece Escalade IQ listing, and confirm that its IQ-only fitment matches your vehicle before ordering. Each kit is a complete set on its own.
Getting a clean result
The dry-fit is where the job is won. Hold each cover in place, compare its position with the photos, and only peel the liner once it lines up. After the first piece goes on, use it as a reference for the remaining three, so all four look consistent on the SUV.

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.
