Product Description
Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 & DTS 2006-2011 Hearse Pillar Post Trim, Six Covers, Customer Design (PP40259)
PP40259 is a six-cover pillar set at $111.99, made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, and its fitment carries an unusual pair of tags: "Hearse" and "Customer Design." Its title lists the 2006-2011 DTS and the 2000-2005 DeVille, matching the two rows.
The record has two rows. The Cadillac DeVille 2000-2005 is tagged Hearse, Customer Design. The DTS row is named "Cadillac DTS (Cadillac Hearse)" for 2006-2011, with the same two tags. No coachbuilder is named, and the listing doesn't explain what "Customer Design" means for the fit. Because of that, please don't order this set on the photos alone. Call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 first, quoting PP40259, and have your vehicle's year, coachbuilder and any build details to hand, so we can confirm whether these six covers suit it.
A standard DeVille or DTS sedan isn't named in either row, so this isn't the listing for one. No other listings are linked to this page.
The record has no notes, post names or widths. The gallery shows the six shapes; use it to check your posts, and bring anything that doesn't match to the phone call. It helps to note which shape in the gallery seems out of place, and to look along each post for dents or past repairs that could stop a flat cover from seating. Polished stainless steel makes up all six DTS covers.
The covers are decorative. Each sits on a post beside the side glass, and the doors, windows and seals keep working as before. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion through its composition rather than a plated coat.
Each of the six mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape that bonds to the posts' present paint or trim. Nothing is drilled and no trim comes off. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and the cure time.
Six posts need preparing. Strip old wax or polish, and repair chalky, crazed or flaking finish, because the tape only grips the surface it meets. Wash with car soap, rinse, let the posts dry thoroughly, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean cloth picks up nothing.
You'll need car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good pile of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper is worth having to look at each cover from a distance.
Work in shade on a dry, windless day. Count the six against the photos and call us if any is bent or missing. Work out each DTS cover's position from the gallery before any tape is exposed. Liner on, hold each cover to its post, adjust until the margin is equal, and trace it with painter's tape. Lift the liner, settle the cover inside the tracing, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Then the next cover goes on.
If one sits high at an end, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, the six wash with car soap 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.
