Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Town & Country 2008-2016, Grand Caravan 2008-2020 & Routan 2009-2012 (PP48896)
Six polished stainless pillar post covers for three minivans make up PP48896, priced at $84.49. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. Both the title and the fitment record list Chrysler Town & Country 2008-2016, Dodge Grand Caravan 2008-2020 and Volkswagen Routan 2009-2012, every row tagged 4-door, Minivan.
Matching your van. Look up the make, model and year on your paperwork. The Chrysler qualifies for 2008-2016, the Dodge for 2008-2020 and the Volkswagen for 2009-2012. Outside those, or if you're unsure which row applies, give us a ring before ordering.
Six in a family of three. Linked to this set are PP48895 with four covers and PP48897 with eight. No record in the group names its posts or lists widths, and none carries a note. Compare the galleries to find the posts these six dress that the four leave plain.
Settle placements. Before peeling, open the photos beside the minivan and pair each cover with its post. Put aside anything you can't place, or that looks bent or scuffed coming out of the packaging, and mention it when you call.
Phone us. 877-752-3811 reaches Quality Automotive Trims. Mention PP48896, your make and the model year, and we'll go over the six shapes with you, one post at a time.
Trim only. The covers dress the posts surrounding the side glass; the doors, windows and weatherstrip keep doing their jobs. 304 stainless resists corrosion through its composition rather than plating.
Attachment. Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the paint or trim on its post. The van isn't drilled and no trim is removed. Temperatures and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Six posts, prepared. Lift wax, polish and sealant from each, and repair powdery, cracked or peeling paint first, since the tape holds only to that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and let them dry right through. Wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, switching to fresh cloth until it stays clean, and feel along for dents.
Things to gather. Painter's tape and a pencil for six numbered tabs, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of soapy water and a good handful of lint-free cloths. A step stool, and someone to stand back and check the lines, both help on a van.
Fitting. Shade and calm, dry weather. Lay the six beside the gallery and get in touch about anything bent or missing. Number each post. One at a time with its liner on, rest a cover on its post, slide it until the gap is even all round and box it in tape. Peel, place it inside the box and press firmly along its face and both edges. Compare it with its photo before carrying on.
If a cover tips. Leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811 rather than pressing it down. Once the tape has cured, the six wash 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.
