Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Saturn Ion Sedan 2005-2007 (PP45411)
PP45411 is the six-cover pillar post set for the Saturn Ion sedan of 2005-2007. The six polished covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the set sells for $67.99. Its fitment row reads Saturn Ion 2005-2007, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Sedan, not Quad Coupe. The Ion also appears in the linked PP45412, a four-cover pillar set whose row is tagged 4-door, Quad Coupe. This six-cover listing is for the Sedan row only. Check the body name; if it doesn't say Sedan, or you're unsure, call us before buying.
Six or four for the sedan. PP45410 is the four-cover pillar set for the same sedan row. Neither listing has notes, post names or widths. Number the six shapes in this gallery and find each one's post on your Saturn, then go through the four-cover gallery the same way. Pick the set that dresses the posts you want.

What they do. The six covers are purely for looks. They sit on posts by the side windows and leave the doors, glass and seals unchanged. The 304 alloy itself resists corrosion.
The tape. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each cover to the post's existing finish. No drilling and no trim removal on the Ion. The Installation tab shows the temperature range and cure time.
Prep for six. Remove wax and polish, and fix chalky, crazed or flaking paint, since the tape holds to that surface. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh fold comes up spotless. Note any dents.
Supplies. The list is short but worth having in one place before the first liner comes off: car-soap water in a bucket, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a generous pile of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, and a pencil for writing a post name on each strip. A friend watching the Ion from a few paces away will catch a cover that's drifting off square.
Fitting. Shade, dry air, no wind. Check the six against the gallery and phone us about any damage or missing piece. Pencil each cover's post on painter's tape from its photo. Liner on, hold a cover to its post, centre it until the margin is even, tape round it, peel, set it in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Compare it with its photo before you reach for the next.
A cover that lifts. If one rocks or stands proud at a tip, keep its liner in place and call 877-752-3811 before going on. After the tape has cured, wash the six 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.
