Product Description
Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 Accubuilt Hearse Pillar Post Trim, Six Pieces (PP53221)
Who it's for. PP53221's one fitment row reads Cadillac XTS 2013-2019, tagged "Accubuilt Hearse" and nothing else. With no sedan tag, these six covers are listed for XTS hearses carrying the Accubuilt Hearse tag. They're polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for $128.49.
Read the tag, not just the title. The title reads "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS" and doesn't mention a coach builder, yet the record splits the XTS pillar sets finely by tag. This is the only one tagged Accubuilt Hearse. A separate set, PP53222, carries "Accubuilt Hearse Limousine" instead, and that's a different listing. The ordinary sedan sets, tagged 4-door, Sedan, are PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247, and there are further sets for Federal, Eagle and S&S Superior coaches.
Coverage. The record doesn't name the six posts or give widths, so check the gallery to see what's covered on the hearse. Take the photos out to the vehicle and match each cover to a post before you decide; that way you'll know what the finished set looks like, and whether six covers matches the look you have in mind, before anything is ordered.
Before ordering. Match the builder named on your vehicle's documents to this tag, word for word if you can, since several XTS tags look alike at a glance. If anything is unclear, ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP53221, the year and the paperwork to hand, and we'll check the record with you.
Appearance only. The covers dress the posts; doors, windows and seals work exactly as they did. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy, not from any coating.
Mounting. Each of the six mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the post's existing surface. No holes are drilled and nothing comes off the Cadillac. The Installation tab sets out the temperatures and the cure period.
Prep. Lay out painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, car-soap water and plenty of lint-free cloth. Remove wax, sealant and polish from all six posts. Mend paint that's powdery, cracked or peeling, because the tape holds only as well as that layer. Wash, rinse and dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh fold shows nothing, and run a fingertip along each post for dents.
Fitting. First, on a dry, windless day in shade, compare the six with the gallery and report any damage at once. Second, give each cover a post and mark it with a numbered tab of tape. Third, liner on, hold one cover up, move it until the margin is even and trace round it. Fourth, peel the liner, set it in the tracing and press hard from end to end and along both edges. Step back and check it before fitting the next.
Trouble seating one? Leave its liner on, set it aside on a clean towel and call 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. When the tape has cured, the six need only 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.
