Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Buick LaCrosse 2005-2009 (PP45521)
Six polished stainless covers for the pillar posts of a Buick LaCrosse are what PP45521 offers. They're cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless in the USA and sold as a set for $67.99. The listing's single fitment row names the LaCrosse for model years 2005-2009 and carries the tags 4-door, Sedan.
Fit. The listing describes a LaCrosse four-door sedan from 2005 through 2009. PP45521 carries the same 2005-2009 LaCrosse window. If either is different, or you're unsure, call us before ordering.
Where six sits. Three pillar sets are linked for the LaCrosse: PP45520 with four covers, this one with six, and PP45522 with eight. None of them gives notes, post names or widths. Number the six shapes in this gallery and find each one's post on your Buick, then look at the four- and eight-cover galleries the same way. Order the set that covers the posts you'd like in polished steel.
Other LaCrosse trims. Linked here and sold separately: DS45520, RD45520, RI45520, TH45520, TH45521 and WZ45520.

What they do. They're styling covers for the posts beside the side glass. The doors, windows and seals keep working exactly as before. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy, with no plating.
Attachment. Each cover bonds to the post's existing paint or trim with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Nothing on the LaCrosse is drilled or taken off. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Six posts to prepare. The tape holds to the outer coat, so take care with it. Remove wax and polish, and repair chalky, crazed or peeling paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean fold picks up nothing. Look for dents while you're working along each post, since a polished cover will make any dip easier to see.
Gear. Keep a bucket of soapy water, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil beside the Buick. Writing a post name on each tape label keeps the six from getting mixed up, and a helper watching from a distance keeps them straight.
Fitting. Pick shade and dry, still weather. Lay out the six next to the gallery and let us know about anything bent or missing. Label each one. With the liner on, set a cover on its post, nudge it until the margin is even, then tape around it. Peel, settle it in the outline and press firmly along the length and both edges. Compare it with its photo, then carry on.
If one won't seat. A cover that rocks or lifts should keep its liner on while you phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash the six with car soap and water 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.
