Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 & DTS 2006-2011 Sedan (PP40246)
Six polished stainless pillar covers at $67.99 make up PP40246. Its title covers the 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS and the 2000-2005 DeVille, the same two cars the fitment record holds. Both rows are tagged 4-door, Sedan. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Two six-cover sedan sets. This is one of two linked six-cover sets for the same sedans. The other, PP40246-OL, carries a note describing it as "OUTLINE TRIM only." PP40246 has no note, so the listing doesn't say how its six covers differ from the outline set. The galleries are where you'll see it. Compare the two shape by shape against your sedan's posts. If the outline style is what you want, PP40246-OL is the listing that describes it; otherwise, look closely at this gallery and call us if the difference isn't clear from the photos.
The four-cover set. PP40245 has four covers and the same rows. If four shapes cover your plan, that page may suit you better.
Not for the sedan. PP40243 is tagged "Federal Hearse," not sedan, so it's listed for another vehicle. WZ40245 and WZ40245-AP are wheel well fender trim moldings, separate parts not included here.
Your car. Check the model and year, DeVille 2000-2005 or DTS 2006-2011, four-door sedan. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811; quote PP40246.
What fitting changes. Only the look of the posts. Each cover rests over a post by the side glass, and the doors, windows and weatherstrip work exactly as before. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion through its chemistry.
Mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each of the six to the post's current finish. The sedan isn't drilled and keeps all its trim. See the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
Preparing six posts. Strip wax and polish; repair chalky, crazed or flaking spots, since the tape grips only that surface. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry through, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, changing cloths until one comes off clean.
What to have. For the Cadillac's six covers: car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a generous stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper standing at the nose and then the tail of the sedan makes the six covers easier to judge.
Fitting. Shade, dry weather, no wind. Count the six against the photos and phone us about any bend or missing piece. Group them by position as the photos show. Liner on, hold each to its post, ease it until the margin is even, and trace it with painter's tape. Peel, set it in the tracing, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Keep going with the following cover.
If one won't seat. A DeVille or DTS cover that bridges or rocks over its post should keep its liner while you ring us on 877-752-3811. Once the tape has had its cure time, clean all six with car soap and water when the car is washed, 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.
