Product Description
Buick Park Avenue 1997-2005 Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP37581)
PP37581 gives the Buick Park Avenue, listed for 1997-2005, a set of six polished pillar covers for $67.99. All six are 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, and the listing's row names the four-door sedan.
It's the larger of two linked pillar sets. PP37580 has four covers for the same years and body. Both records are silent on which posts their covers fit, and neither gives notes or widths, so the galleries are what you'll compare. With the car in front of you, count the six shapes here and match each to a post, front to back. If all six land where you'd like polished steel, this is the set. If the four-cover gallery fits your plan better, choose PP37580. Holding each photo up to the post you think it fits is quicker and surer than judging from memory, and it's a good moment to look along each post for dents or old repairs.
Two other linked listings are separate parts. DH37580 is a door handle accent set and WZ37580 is a wheel well fender trim molding. Neither is included with these covers.
The fitment row runs nine years as one span, with nothing singled out, and names the four-door sedan only. PP37581 follows that same 1997-2005 Park Avenue row. If you'd like a second opinion on the gallery, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP37581.
The six are decorative. Each rests over a post next to the windows, and the Park Avenue's doors, glass and weatherstrip keep working just as before. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its composition, not plating.
Each cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape that bonds to the existing post finish. You won't drill, and you won't take any trim off the Buick. Read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab before you set a date.
Six posts need to be ready. Remove any wax or polish and repair spots that are powdery, crazed or flaking. Wash with car soap, rinse, let the posts dry right through, then wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, turning to a clean cloth until it shows nothing.
Keep car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil to hand for the Park Avenue, and if you can, someone to judge the covers from front and rear.
Fit them on a still, dry day out of the sun. Count the six against the photos and call us about any piece that's bent or missing. Use the photos to work out the position of each Park Avenue cover. One at a time, with the liner on, hold the cover to its post, ease it until the margin is even, and run painter's tape around it. Lift the liner, set the cover inside the tape, and press firmly from end to end and down both edges. Do the next one, then carry on.
Should one of the six lift or rock, stop with the liner still on and phone 877-752-3811. After the tape has cured, the covers need only car soap and water and 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.
