Product Description
Six Polished Stainless Pillar Covers, Buick Rendezvous 2002-2008 (PP42511)
PP42511 is the six-cover pillar post trim for the 2002-2008 Buick Rendezvous. It sells for $67.99, and every cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA. The listing's fitment row is Buick Rendezvous 2002-2008, tagged 4-door, SUV.
That one row is all the listing covers. A Rendezvous from those seven years with the four-door SUV body fits the description; check both on your registration or title. If either doesn't match, or the paperwork is hard to read, call us before buying. Something about the Rendezvous covers you'd like to check? Rendezvous fit questions go to 877-752-3811.
The four-cover sibling, PP42510, is linked for the same row. Neither page has notes, names its posts or gives widths, so you'll compare by photo. Number the six shapes here and find each one's post on your Buick, then look at the four-cover gallery the same way. Choose the set that matches the posts you'd like dressed in polished steel.
If the photos leave you unsure, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP42511 and your model year. We'll go through the six shapes with you one by one.
Think of these as styling trim. They rest on the posts next to the side glass and leave the doors, windows and weatherstrip working as they were. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy rather than a plated coating.
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape mounts each cover directly over the post's existing paint or trim. The Rendezvous isn't drilled and keeps all its trim. Look up the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab before you begin.
With six posts to prepare, take your time. Remove all wax and polish. Repair paint that's chalky, crazed or lifting, because the tape only grips as well as that top layer allows. Wash with car soap, rinse, let everything dry, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, turning to a fresh face until it shows nothing. Check for dents as you work. A dip that paint disguises can stand out under polished stainless, so it's worth sorting before the covers go on.
Set out car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a big stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for labelling. A helper standing back from the SUV makes judging six alignments much quicker and keeps the spacing consistent.
Wait for shade and a dry, calm day. Lay out the six by the gallery and call us about any that are bent or missing. Label each with painter's tape for the post its photo shows. With the liner on, place a cover, slide it until the gap is even and tape its outline. Peel, seat it in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it against the photo, then do the next one in the same way.
A Rendezvous cover that stands proud or rocks should keep its liner while you ring 877-752-3811. After the cure, the six wash with car soap and water 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.
