Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse (PP49166)
For the Chevrolet Traverse, PP49166 is a six-cover pillar post set in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, at $95.49. It's listed for 2009-2017, and the fitment row reads Chevrolet Traverse 2009-2017, tagged 4-door, SUV.
The record covers the four-door Traverse SUV across nine model years. A Traverse outside 2009 to 2017 isn't in this record, so phone before buying if yours is, or if you're not sure.
PP49165, the four-cover Traverse set, is linked to this one. Neither tells you which posts are covered or how wide the pieces are, and there are no notes. Comparing the two galleries is how you'll see which posts only these six reach.
The only other linked item is GC49166, a one-piece gas door cover.
Six shapes are simpler to fit if each one's post is decided first. Walk round the Traverse holding the photos, match them up, and set aside any piece that doesn't line up or arrives marked.

These six are for appearance. They frame the posts round the side windows and leave how the doors, glass and weatherstrip work unchanged. 304 stainless resists corrosion by its makeup, not by a coating.
All six mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the paint or trim currently on their posts. No holes, and no trim leaves the SUV. Temperatures and cure time are set out on the Installation tab.
Give each of the six posts a careful clean. Remove wax, polish and sealant, and fix powdery, cracked or peeling paint beforehand, since the tape grips only that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and let them dry completely. Wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, moving to a fresh patch until nothing transfers, and run a fingertip along for dents.
From the garage, gather a roll of painter's tape and a pencil so six tabs can be numbered, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a generous pile of lint-free cloths. A step stool gives a square view of each post's top, and a friend at the rear bumper can tell you when a line wanders.
Wait for a dry day with no breeze and park where the sun won't hit the posts. Spread the six out next to their photos and let us know if any are bent or short. Tape a number beside each post. Then, working through the numbers with each liner still attached, lay a cover on its post, nudge it until the reveal looks the same on every side and mark its edges with tape. Peel, bring it back to the marks and press hard across the face and along each edge, then check it against its photo.
Should a cover tip or leave a gap at a corner, stop with the liner on and call 877-752-3811. Fully cured, the six clean with 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.
