Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Cadillac CTS 2008-2013 & CTS Sport Wagon 2010-2014 (PP48251)
Six polished stainless covers for the pillar posts of the Cadillac CTS make up PP48251, priced at $67.99. They're 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment record has two rows, Cadillac CTS 2008-2013 and Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 2010-2014, each tagged 4-door, Sedan, Sport Wagon, and the title names both.
Finding your row. A CTS qualifies from 2008 through 2013; a CTS Sport Wagon from 2010 through 2014. A CTS dated 2008 to 2013 takes the six covers. The two rows share one tag list instead of separate body tags, so if you'd like us to confirm before ordering, please call.
The four-cover option. PP48250 is linked for the same two rows. Like this set, it has no post names, widths or notes. Look at both galleries together and pick out the posts that only these six reach.
Placement first. Before lifting any liner, carry the six photos to the car and decide which post each cover is meant for. Put aside anything that won't line up, or that looks marked or bent.
Call. 877-752-3811 for Quality Automotive Trims. Quote PP48251, your year and the body, and we'll go over the six shapes with you, post by post.
For appearance. The six cover posts around the side glass without touching how the doors, windows or seals work. 304 stainless resists corrosion because of its composition rather than a plating.
Mounting. Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the paint or trim on its post now. There's no drilling and no panel removal on the Cadillac. The Installation tab sets out the temperature window and the cure period.
Six posts, prepared. Lift wax, polish and sealant, and fix any powdery, cracked or lifting paint first, as the tape bonds only to that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and let them dry completely. Wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, switching to a fresh section until nothing transfers, and check for dents by touch.
Supplies. A roll of painter's tape and a pencil for six numbered tabs, rubbing alcohol, soapy water and a good pile of lint-free cloths. A helper standing a few paces back from the Cadillac to judge each line is well worth asking for, since six even reveals matter more than speed.
Fitting. Choose shade and calm, dry weather. Lay the six beside the gallery and report anything damaged or missing. Number each post on painter's tape. One at a time with the liner on, rest a cover on its post, ease it until the margin is even and frame it with tape. Peel, settle it inside the frame and press firmly along its face and both edges. Compare it with its photo before moving on.
If one sits high. A cover that tips or leaves a gap should keep its liner while you phone 877-752-3811. When fully cured, the six need just car soap, water and 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.
