Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox (PP50161)
Six polished pillar post covers for the Chevrolet Equinox make up PP50161. They're 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the set costs $84.49 for model years 2010-2017. The single fitment row reads Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Year and body. The record describes the four-door Equinox SUV across eight years. Check your records; if the year isn't between 2010 and 2017, or you can't tell, please ring us before ordering.
Four or six. PP50160 is the linked four-cover Equinox set. No post names, widths or notes appear on either record. Open both galleries and look for the posts that only these six dress.
More Equinox trim. Among the other linked pieces are LP50160, a license plate bezel, WQ50160, a six-piece wheel well accent set, and TH50160, a rocker panel insert kit noted "On the Cladding, adh. Perimeter" and "Side Molding."
Before peeling. Walk round the SUV with the six photos and decide each cover's post.
Phone. When a photo and a post don't seem to agree, the quickest fix is a conversation. Ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811, have PP50161 and the year in your Equinox's records handy, and we'll look at the six shapes together.
What changes. Only the look. These six covers dress the posts beside the Equinox's side windows; the doors still swing and latch, the glass still runs, and the weatherstrip still seals as it did. The steel is grade 304, whose corrosion resistance is part of the metal itself, so no plated layer is involved.
Attachment. Leave the drill in the drawer. Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the post as it stands. Check the Installation tab for the tape's temperature limits and its cure time.
Six posts to clean. Remove wax, polish and sealant from each and repair any powdery, cracked or peeling paint first, because the tape bonds to that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry fully. Wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, moving to fresh cloth until it stays white, and run a fingertip along for dents.
Kit. Lay out a roll of painter's tape for six number tabs and their outlines, a soft pencil, rubbing alcohol in a squeeze bottle, a bucket of car-soap water and a dozen lint-free cloths. A second person stationed at the Equinox's back corner can tell you whether each cover looks level.
Fitting. Wait for a still, dry day and park out of the sun. Check the six against their pictures and tell us about any damage. Label every post with a numbered tab. Working from number one, keep the liner on, lay the cover over its post and nudge it until the border looks equal on all sides; then mark its corners with tape. Peel, bring it back to the marks and press firmly across it and down each edge. Glance at its photo, then move to the next number.
If a cover won't settle. Leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 instead of pushing harder. Once cured, the six clean with car soap and 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.
