Product Description
Chevrolet Caprice 1991-1997 Pillar Post Trim, Six Covers Including Rear Pillar Trim (PP33176)
PP33176 is the six-cover pillar set for the Chevrolet Caprice sedan of 1991-1997, priced at $84.49. Its note reads "Includes rear pillar trim." The six are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless and made in the USA.
Look at the body tag before anything else. The row reads 4-door, Sedan, does not fit Wagon, so a Caprice wagon owner should stop here; this set isn't listed for that body.
The note tells you the rear pillar is part of these six. What it doesn't mention is a front triangle. PP33175, the eight-cover Caprice set, is noted "Includes rear/rear post and front/front triangle," so if the triangle is on your list, that's the listing that names it. PP30175 is the four-cover set and carries no note. None of the three gives widths, so put their galleries side by side and match the shapes to your own posts. If six covers with the rear pillar trim are what you're after, this is the page to order from.
The row lists the Caprice sedan from 1991 through 1997 as one span, with no year singled out. Quality Automotive Trims can go through the photos with you on 877-752-3811; give PP33176 and your year.
These covers are for appearance. Each lies over a post beside the side glass, and the Chevrolet's doors, windows and seals keep working as they always have. Grade 304 stainless holds back corrosion through its alloy, not a plated skin.
Holding the six on is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which adheres to the posts' existing paint or trim, rear pillar included. Your Caprice gets no holes and loses no trim. Find the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
Since the note names the rear pillar trim, give that area the same careful look as the posts. Wherever the tape will go, look for a dusty bloom, hairline crazing, a corner lifting or a film of wax or polish, and repair or remove it. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, using a fresh one each pass until it comes away clean.
Have car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good pile of cloths, painter's tape and a pencil to hand, and someone who can stand off the car to compare the covers.
Wait for a dry, still day and work in the shade. Check the six covers against the gallery and call us about any that are bent or missing. Sort them by position, the rear pillar pieces together. Keeping the liner on, hold each cover in place, adjust until the margin is even, and trace around it with painter's tape. Lift the liner, lay the cover inside the trace, and press firmly across its whole surface and along every edge. Move on to another cover.
If a cover lifts or won't settle, leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 before carrying on. When the cure is complete, the six wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
