Product Description
Six Stainless Pillar Covers for the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001-2002 (PP41701)
PP41701 is the six-piece pillar post trim for the 2001-2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. It is $84.49, made in the USA, and every cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless. Its fitment row reads PT Cruiser 2001-2002 with the tags 4-door, Hatchback.
Is it your car? Check both the year and the body. The row covers 2001 and 2002 only, and only the four-door hatchback it names. Anything outside that isn't listed, so call before you buy. PT Cruiser prep for PP41701 is under Installation.
Six or four. PP41700 is the linked four-cover set for the same row. Neither listing names posts or gives widths, and neither has notes. Lay the two galleries side by side, number the shapes, and walk the Cruiser matching them to its posts. The set whose shapes cover the posts you have in mind is the right one.
Talk to us. Quality Automotive Trims picks up at 877-752-3811. Say PP41701 and give your year, and we'll go through the photos. Being sure which posts you actually want covered before choosing between six and four is worth a short call before you place the order with us.
Purely trim. The six covers sit over posts next to the side windows for appearance. Doors, glass and weatherstrip work exactly as they did. Corrosion resistance is built into the 304 alloy rather than applied as plating.
How they mount. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each to the post's existing paint or trim. The Chrysler gets no holes and loses no trim. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time before you start.
Preparing six posts. Remove wax and polish entirely. Fix chalky, crazed or flaking finish first, because the tape holds to that layer and nothing deeper. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean fold comes up spotless. Note any dents; a cover can't sit flatter than its post.
Supplies. Car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lots of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil and, if you can, a helper. With six to place, the helper saves you walking back and forth to judge each one, and a pencil lets you number the tape labels clearly.
Fitting. Shade, dry air, no wind. Lay out the six beside the gallery, check them over and call us if any is bent or absent. Label each with painter's tape for the post its photo shows. Holding a cover in place with the liner on, slide it until the reveal is even and tape its outline. Peel, set it in the outline and press firmly end to end and along each edge. Compare it with the gallery before starting the next, and leave the trickiest shape until you have a feel for the tape.
Not sitting right? Keep the liner on that cover and phone 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash the six with car soap and pat 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.
