Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Pontiac Grand Am Sedan 1999-2005 (PP39276)
PP39276 is the six-cover pillar set for the Pontiac Grand Am sedan, model years 1999-2005, at $84.49. Its covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and its fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Which Grand Am set. Three pillar listings are linked. For the sedan, there's this one and PP39275, a four-cover set for the same years. PP39273 is tagged 2-door, Coupe, so it's listed for the other body. If your records show the four-door sedan, you're choosing between this page and PP39275.
Six against four. Neither sedan record gives notes, post names or widths. The galleries are where you'll see what each set covers. Count the six shapes here and the four on the other page, then walk along your sedan and match them to its posts. If six cover what you want in polished steel, order this page. If four suit your plan, PP39275 is the one. Do the comparison beside the car, holding each photo next to the post you think it fits; a shape that doesn't belong stands out at once, and you can check each post for dents or old repairs while you're there, since a flat cover needs a flat surface.
Years. Seven model years share one undivided row, so any year from 1999 to 2005 is listed the same way. For help, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP39276 and your year.
What changes. Only the look. The six covers sit over the posts by the side windows, while the Grand Am's doors, glass and seals are untouched. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its makeup, not plating.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each cover to the existing post finish. The sedan isn't drilled and keeps all its trim. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and cure time.
Six surfaces to prepare. Strip any wax or polish, and repair chalky, crazed or peeling finish, because each strip of tape holds only to the surface it's pressed on. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry through, and wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, swapping cloths until one stays clean.
Supplies. Car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper at the nose or tail of the car can judge each of the six covers.
Fitting. Dry, windless weather and shade. Count the six against the gallery and phone us about any that are bent or missing. Sort them by position. Liner on, hold each to its post, nudge it until the reveal is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, lay it within the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. The following cover goes on next.
Trouble seating a cover? If one of the Grand Am's six rocks over its post or lifts at the tip, stop there with the liner still on and ring 877-752-3811 for advice. Once the tape has cured, the covers are washed with the car, car soap and water, then patted 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.
