Product Description
Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the 2011-2017 Buick Regal (PP51576)
Six polished stainless covers for the pillar posts of the Buick Regal sedan: that's PP51576, priced at $73.49. Each is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row in the record reads Buick Regal 2011-2017, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Is six the right number for you? The only other Regal pillar set linked here is PP51575, with four covers. Neither set's record names its posts or lists widths, so we can't tell you in words which two posts make the difference. Put the two galleries side by side, look at your Regal, and decide which coverage you're after. If you're torn, call us and we'll look at the photos with you.
Three more Regal items are linked in the record and sold on their own listings. GC51575 is a gas door cover trim. TH51575 is an eight-piece lower rocker panel kit. TH51576 is a two-piece rocker panel trim with the note "Installs below the door." None of those is part of this set, and each listing carries its own details.
Check the year before you order. The row runs from 2011 to 2017, and a Regal from any other year isn't listed for these covers. Quality Automotive Trims takes calls on 877-752-3811; mention PP51576 and your model year.
Six covers, one purpose: appearance. They dress the posts beside the side glass while the doors, windows and seals go on as before. The 304 stainless holds off corrosion through its composition rather than through any coating.
You fit every cover with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, pressing it straight onto the paint or trim the post already has. No holes, no unclipping of Buick trim. For the temperature window and how long the tape should cure, see the Installation tab.
Six posts need preparing before any liner comes off. Gather painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a good pile of lint-free cloths. Lift every trace of wax, sealant and polish. Paint that is powdery, cracked or peeling needs repairing first. Wash, rinse and dry each post, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol, turning the cloth until it comes away spotless, and feel for any dents.
First, find a shady, dry and still day and lay the six out alongside their photos, reporting any damage at once. Second, give each cover a post and pencil a number on a tab of tape beside it. Third, liner on, hold one cover in position, ease it until the margin is even and trace round it. Fourth, remove the liner, set the cover in the tracing and press hard from end to end and down both edges. Step back to check the margin and both edges before moving on to the next cover.
A cover that rocks, or won't come down at one end, keeps its liner on while you phone 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, the set asks only for 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.
