Product Description
Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim, Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan 2004-2008 (PP44281)
PP44281 is a six-cover pillar post set for the Pontiac Grand Prix, listed for 2004-2008. All six covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the set costs $67.99. The listing's fitment row reads Pontiac Grand Prix 2004-2008, carrying the tags 4-door, Sedan.
Checking fit. The row covers the four-door sedan across five model years. Your records should show a Grand Prix from 2004 to 2008 with that body. If it doesn't, or you can't be sure, phone us before ordering.
Four or six. PP44280, the linked four-cover set, is for the same row. With no notes, post names or widths on either page, the galleries do the explaining. Number the six shapes here and find each one's post on your Pontiac, then look through the four-cover photos the same way. Pick the set whose shapes cover the posts you want in polished steel.
Help from us. Our line at Quality Automotive Trims is 877-752-3811. Mention PP44281 and the year in your Pontiac's records, and we can talk through what each of the six shapes in the gallery is for before you commit to this set or the smaller one.
Their job. The covers are appearance trim for the posts next to the side windows. The doors, glass and weatherstrip continue exactly as before, and the sedan drives and washes the same. The 304 alloy itself resists corrosion; no plating is involved.
How they attach. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape fixes each cover to the existing finish on the post. The Grand Prix isn't drilled and no trim comes off. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
Preparing six posts. The tape bonds to the surface layer, so that layer must be clean and sound. Remove wax and polish; repair chalking, crazing or peeling paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean fold shows no residue. Look closely for dents; it's easier to deal with them before a polished cover sits on top.
Supplies. Car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a big stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for labelling each cover. A helper watching from the side of the sedan makes six alignments far easier.
Putting them on. Shade and dry, windless weather. Lay out the six beside the gallery and contact us about any damage or missing piece. Label each with painter's tape for the post its photo shows. Liner on, hold the cover to its post, ease it until the margin is even and tape around it. Peel, seat it in the outline and press firmly along its full length and both edges. Compare it with the photo before starting the next.
If one won't seat. Leave its liner on and ring 877-752-3811 rather than pressing harder. Once cured, 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.
