Product Description
Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim, Cadillac Seville 1998-2004 Sedan (PP38237)
With six polished covers at $67.99, PP38237 is the larger of the two pillar sets linked for the 1998-2004 Cadillac Seville. The steel is 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Against the four-cover set. PP38236 carries four covers for the same years and body. That's the only stated difference: neither listing has notes, names its posts or gives widths. The six shapes in this gallery and the four in the other are what you'll compare. Take both galleries out to your Seville and see which posts each shape would dress. If all six suit the posts you'd like in stainless, this set is the right one. Hold each photo beside the post you think it fits rather than working from memory. If the four-cover gallery matches the job you have in mind, order PP38236.
The license plate bezel. LP38236 is also linked. It's a one-piece license plate bezel with its own page, a different part entirely, and it isn't part of these six.
Reading the fitment. Seven model years share one row and only the four-door sedan is named. The listing mentions no other Seville version, so take it at its word and confirm your paperwork shows a four-door sedan from those years. For anything else, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP38237 and your year.
What they do. The covers are cosmetic. Each sits on a post next to the side windows, and the Cadillac's doors, glass and weatherstrip are left exactly as they are. Grade 304 resists corrosion through its alloy; it isn't plated.
Mounting. Every cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to the post's existing paint or trim. There's no drilling and nothing comes off the sedan. Read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab first.
Six posts to prepare. Because each piece of tape grips only the surface under it, strip any wax or polish and repair chalky, crazed or peeling finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, swapping to a fresh cloth until one stays clean.
What to gather. Car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, and a helper to look at each cover from the front and back of the car.
Fitting day. Dry, still weather and shade. Count the six against the gallery and ring us about anything bent or short. Lay them out by position, following the photos. Holding each cover with its liner still on, set it to its post, adjust until the margin is equal, and trace it with painter's tape. Peel, settle it in the tracing, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover before going on.
A cover that won't bed down. Keep its liner and call 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, the six are washed with car soap and dried 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.
