Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for Trailblazer, Envoy & Ascender, Not XL (PP42294)
PP42294 is a six-cover polished stainless pillar set listed for three SUVs: the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2002-2009, the GMC Envoy 2002-2009 and the Isuzu Ascender 2003-2008. Every row is tagged 4-door, SUV and "Does not fit XL." It's $67.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. The title names all three, though not the XL exclusion, so that tag is the one to read here.
The XL exclusion. That tag is the main thing to check. If your records name an XL version, this set isn't listed for it. If you're unsure which version you have, ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 before ordering and quote PP42294.
Years by model. The Chevrolet and GMC rows both cover 2002-2009. The Isuzu row is different, 2003-2008, so Ascender owners should match against that span, and every owner should check the XL tag first.
Six or eight. The linked eight-cover set is PP42295, carrying the same "Does not fit XL" tag. Neither page has notes, post names or widths. Count the shapes in each gallery and match them, one by one, to the posts on your SUV; pick whichever set dresses the posts you want. If you can't tell from the photos which shapes go where, a quick call settles it.
What they do. The covers are appearance trim for the posts next to the side glass. Doors, windows and weatherseals work exactly as before. The 304 alloy provides the corrosion resistance; there's no plating layer.
Mounting. Each cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the finish already on the post. No drilling, and no trim removal on any of the three SUVs. See the Installation tab for the temperature range and the cure time.
Prep. Six posts means six chances for a poor bond, so take care. Remove wax and polish. Repair chalky, cracked or lifting paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, then wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, switching cloth until a fresh one stays clean. Check each post for dents as you clean, because polished stainless shows every dip in the surface beneath it.
Kit: car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good pile of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil for labelling, and a helper if possible to judge alignment from the side.
Fitting. Shade, dry air, no breeze. Compare the six with the gallery, and call us about any damage or missing piece. Label each cover with painter's tape for the post its photo shows. Liner on, hold it to that post, ease it until the margin is even, then tape its outline. Peel, seat it in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Step back and compare it with the gallery before the next.
A stubborn cover. If one rocks or lifts, leave the liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, wash the six with car soap and dry them 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.
