Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim, Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 S&S Superior Hearse (PP53241)
At a glance. Six polished stainless pillar post covers, $117.49, listed for the Cadillac XTS tagged "S&S Superior Hearse." The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. PP53241's single row reads Cadillac XTS 2013-2019, with that tag and no sedan tag.
The S&S Superior Hearse range. Three linked sets share this tag: PP53240 with four covers, this one with six and PP53242 with eight. The record lists no posts and no widths for any of them, so the galleries are where you'll see the difference. Lay the three sets of photos side by side, then walk round your coach and decide how many posts you'd like dressed. If two counts look close in the photos, a quick call will let us compare them with you before you order anything.
Similar names, different listings. PP53220 is tagged "S&S Superior Limousine," which is not this tag. The standard 4-door, Sedan sets are PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247. Accubuilt, Federal and Eagle coaches have their own linked sets. Every XTS pillar title reads "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS," so match the tag, not the title, to your vehicle.
Calling. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Tell us PP53241, the year, and the coach description exactly as your documents show it, and we'll compare it with the record.
Looks only. The six dress the posts. Doors, glass and weatherstrip carry on unchanged. 304 stainless resists corrosion by its composition, with no coating to chip.
Mounting. Each cover is held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed over the post's existing paint or trim. No drilling and nothing unclipped from the Cadillac. See the Installation tab for the temperature window and the cure period.
Prep in three passes. Wash: car-soap water, rinse, dry. Clear: lift wax, sealant and polish, and put right any chalky, cracked or peeling paint, because the tape anchors to it. Degrease: rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, folding to fresh cloth until nothing transfers. Finish by running a fingertip along each of the six posts to check for dents.
Fitting. Pick a calm, dry day and a shady spot. Check the six against the gallery first and report any damage. Dry-fit each with its liner on, shuffle it until the margin is even and mask it with painter's tape, pencilling a number on each mask. Then one at a time: liner off, cover into its mask, firm pressure end to end and along both edges. Lift the masks and step back to look the set over.
If one won't seat. A cover that tips under your thumb, or won't come down along one edge, is telling you something; pressing harder or trimming it won't help. Set it on a clean towel with its liner still in place and give us a call on 877-752-3811, and we'll work out with you what's going on. When the tape under the others has cured, the six need only a wash with car soap and water, dried off 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.
